The Super/IO Winbond W83627EHG-A is not supported yet by lm_sensors2 or any driver I know of. 2.) I also can't get acpi temperature on Gigabyte 955X Royal and 925Xe Mobo, Abit 925XE, ASUS P5AD2-E 925XE, P5WD2 955X too. The ASUS P5WD2 also has some **EXECUTABLE CODE*** in ACPI Table that cause some errors here..regarding ACPI stuff *sigh* But on the Gigabyte they use a IT8212F Super IO so you can use lm_sensors2. I hope I could help a bit. Greets -- Michael Thonke IT-Systemintegrator / System- and Softwareanalyist
