What version of lm-sensors do you have? I had trouble with it finding one of my sensors until I installed the latest. Sensor emc2103 needs kernel 2.6.32 or newer. What happens when you install the emc2103 module?Quote:

The problem is just that my notebook really heats up, so I want the fan to run faster. Even @ 80°C it just runs with 50% speed.
What's the output from the sensors command? Sorry, can't help with fan speed. Maybe someone else can.Quote:

Hmm...Did the lm-sensors FAQ help?Quote:

For the CPU temperature you can ignore the acpitz-virtual-0 temps, I've found them not to be accurate. It's the coretemp-isa-0000 temps you need to keep an eye on.
My netbook went over 70°C a few days ago. In the sun, air temps just under 30°C :D And I didn't even make the machine work that hard.
I am a bit confused. I feel like I installed and setup lm-sensors on Ubuntu 12.04 and Arch Linux in exactly the same way, but running sensors gives me much more output on Arch than it does on Precise. It seems like something is not working on Precise or I have done something wrong.
Also, when I try to start or restart service module-init-tools, it just immediately replies that it is in status "stop/waiting". My guess is that this is where my problem lies.
Here is my output on Ubuntu 12.04:

PS - Never mind. I need to go to post 1 and work my way through all that beginning info. But, I didn't need to do anything like all that on Arch. Sorry.
See the preceding post. Now, I have followed post #1 instructions and I get the same results. It seems to find another sensor, but it does not include it in the stuff it says to add to /etc/modules. It only says to add coretemp, which is already there.
So, it finds a "Chip `ITE IT8728F Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9)", but then says there is no driver for it. Apparently, the driver is found and used in lm-sensors on Arch Linux. Is there a way to find and load this driver on Ubuntu?Quote:
Just press ENTER to continue:
Driver `to-be-written':
* ISA bus, address 0x290

Note: there is no driver for ITE IT8728F Super IO Sensors yet.
Check http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices for updates.
To load everything that is needed, add this to /etc/modules:
#----cut here----
# Chip drivers
coretemp
#----cut here----
If you have some drivers built into your kernel, the list above will
contain too many modules. Skip the appropriate ones!
Also, there is a module it87.ko in my drivers folder, but if I try to modprobe it, it responds that it does not exist. ???
Tim
PS - Later [SOLVED]
Downloaded newer driver from http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/misc/it87/
Ran make, make install, modprobe it87
sensors now returns all the info expected

Recently I got the feeling that lm-sensors (or coretemp) CPU temperature readings are way off.
I'm currently running kernel 3.2.0-30-generic and 3.2.0-31-generic on two different machines. My older Core2 machine ran Linux Mint 9 before and temperatures were well below 40C when idle. Now they are in the 50s.
On my new machine with an Intel 3930K CPU I also noticed higher temperature readings, but I can't remember exactly when it started (meaning which kernel update or lm-sensors update produced the problem).
Anyone noticed something similar? I believe the CPU temperatures reported by lm-sensors are some 15-20C higher than the actual temperature, or at least how the BIOS reads the temperature.
Hi guys. This is my konsole output
this is modules:Code:# sensors-detect revision 5984 (2011-07-10 21:22:53 +0200)

This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need
to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe
and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions,
unless you know what you're doing.
Some south bridges, CPUs or memory controllers contain embedded sensors.
Do you want to scan for them? This is totally safe. (YES/no): y
Module cpuid loaded successfully.
Silicon Integrated Systems SIS5595... No
VIA VT82C686 Integrated Sensors... No
VIA VT8231 Integrated Sensors... No
AMD K8 thermal sensors... No
AMD Family 10h thermal sensors... No
AMD Family 11h thermal sensors... No
AMD Family 12h and 14h thermal sensors... No

AMD Family 15h power sensors... No
Intel digital thermal sensor... Success!
(driver `coretemp')
Intel AMB FB-DIMM thermal sensor... No
VIA C7 thermal sensor... No
VIA Nano thermal sensor... No
Some Super I/O chips contain embedded sensors. We have to write to
standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe.
Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no): y
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f

Some hardware monitoring chips are accessible through the ISA I/O ports.
We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually
safe though. Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any
ISA slots! Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (YES/no): y
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78' at 0x290... No
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM79' at 0x290... No
Probing for `Winbond W83781D' at 0x290... No
Probing for `Winbond W83782D' at 0x290... No
Lastly, we can probe the I2C/SMBus adapters for connected hardware
monitoring devices. This is the most risky part, and while it works
reasonably well on most systems, it has been reported to cause trouble
on some systems.
Do you want to probe the I2C/SMBus adapters now? (YES/no): y

If you have some drivers built into your kernel, the list above will

Do you want to add these lines automatically to /etc/modules? (yes/NO)y
Successful!
Monitoring programs won't work until the needed modules are
loaded. You may want to run 'service module-init-tools start'
to load them.
Unloading i2c-dev... OK
Unloading i2c-i801... OK
Unloading cpuid... OK
