I use 3.2.0-24-generic-phc. I can install/load the emc2103 -module @ startup or with modprobe. It even shows up with lsmod, but nothing happens. Or is there some way I can use it? Maybe its somehow possible to manually edit the cip IDs so that ID ID 0x4501 is recognized as emc2103?
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.
Did you look at the lm-sensors FAQ?

@sebl Did you check your fan for dust? (In the category "Answers that are not related to lm-sensors".) With notebooks you often only need to lift the keyboard to reach/clean the fan. The heatsink can be dusty too, but it's more difficult to reach. Use a new/clean paintbrush, old toothbrush or compressed air (you can buy it in spraypaint-like cans).
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°CAnd 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:
Here is the sensors output from Arch Linux:coretemp-isa-0000

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?Just press ENTER to continue:
Driver `to-be-written':
* ISA bus, address 0x290
Chip `ITE IT8728F Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9)
Driver `coretemp':
* Chip `Intel digital thermal sensor' (confidence: 9)
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. ???

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
