Description Nicolas Mailhot 2005-11-09 04:10:49 UTC
lm_sensors: 2.9.1

I have a Gigabyte GA-K8N Ultra-9 motherboard
(http://www.giga-byte.com/MotherBoard/Products/Products_GA-K8N%
20Ultra-9.htm)

The documentation states it uses a IT8712F chip and sensors-detect
selected it8712-isa as it should.

Temperature readings are sane, fan readings are sane too once the
divisor has been bumped a little, but voltage readings are complete
junk.

Note the BIOS and Giga-byte Easytune tool only check VCoreA, +3,3V, +5V, +12V
and CPUVid, so lots of sensors may not be connected to anything on this
board

The readings with the default config are :

[root@rousalka nim]# dmesg | grep powernow

This is a user-space configuration issue, not a kernel bug.

Ask your motherboard manufacturer for technical data on how the hardware
monitoring inputs of the IT8712F are wired.
