    I have the same problem, using XSensors, I don't see the fan speeds.
    Your solution seems to work.
    I don't understand how to download the "Makefile" and "it87.c" files or where you download them from.
    Can you help me on this As I am not a specialist on this?

    @corvair: Here is the page to find it on: http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices Look for Manufacturer ITE in the leftmost column.

    There are several choices. I used the one that says it is for my Z68 motherboard. http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/misc/it87/ Yours may or may not be the same.

    Good luck,

    Re: lm_sensors not reporting fan speed

    I've updated the kernel in 12.04 using the backported quantal 3.5 kernel. It has the IT87 updated chipset driver. By doing this, there is no need to make the driver for the kernel and updates won't break a manually installed driver.

    After inserting the driver with modprobe:

    sudo modprobe it87

    sensors will report not only the coretemp module's temperatures but will give fan speeds and additional temperatures from the it87 module. The configuration of the temperatures seems okay for the first and third values. The second value is -55 Centigrade, so that is a bit bogus. A correct configuration for the chipset would be nice, but I don't have that. Here is the output that sensors provides once both modules are inserted into the kernel. Also, this is the 3.3.1 version of lm-sensors from the repositories for 12.04 that I'm using.
