HOW TO: Install and configure lm-sensors

[dcstar]

I have just installed the same CPU on an Asus MB (replacing a Sempron 3400 which seemed to report temps ok) and have similar weird core temps.

Doing a web search seems to show this as a known problem, and it may be fixed in the new lm-sensors 3.0 package - we will just have to wait for the Ubuntu/Debian developers to start using this new package.

I have just done some more research and found that the "Brisbane" core AMD X2 CPUs have a known problem with the accuracy of the temperature diodes (as reported by k8temp). These are the later 65W CPUs, the earlier 89W versions apparently report ok.

It looks like those of us with the Brisbane core CPUs will have to disregard the k8temp data, and find alternative reporting (from the motherboard).

Hi peeps (i am a newbie)

I have got to stage 3. and ran
sudo sensors-detect

i have copied the output:

# Chip drivers
coretemp

but i do not have a directory/file for
/etc/modules

the insturction says to "To make the sensors modules behave correctly, add these lines to /etc/modules" ...

any ideas?

I can do the next part:Then, run /etc/init.d/module-init-tools - thats fine

I have a Samsung R20, Intel dual core duo 2 GHz.. but no luck with fancontrol. I get information only about temperature... which is really high always and the "coolers" run like crazy non-stop!

Anything I miss?

$ sensors
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0: +69°C (high = +100°C)

coretemp-isa-0001
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 1: +69°C (high = +100°C)

I found the Hardinfo (http://getdeb.net/search.php?keywords=hardinfo) program to be a lot more useful. Provides the sensors data plus a ton of more things about your comp, all in one nice program.

No need to be.
Besides a "personal" Thank You is always nicer. It means that someone took the time to type it in.
