I used the customary +/- 10 percent limits. No issues setting "min" value of "0" on temperatures; defaults were negative values in some cases. Setting a "min" value between 10 and 20 would be more reasonable for most PCs. I did not try to set limits on fans, but I suspect they would work ;-) _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@lm-sensors.org http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
