# Figure out what sensors you have, load the correct modules.
** Most people should be able to just run the program sensors-detect and follow instructions
** If at the end of the process you try to run the sensors program and it tells you there are no sensors found, you may have to investigate what type of sensors you have.
-** For my Gigabyte board, I had to Google for answers, it turns out that sensors-detect found a LM78 chip on my board. That is completly wrong, the final list of modules I had to use to make it work were:
+** For my Gigabyte board, I had to Google for answers, it turns out that sensors-detect found a LM78 chip on my board. That is completly wrong it has a IT8705 chip. If you are completly stuck
, grap your mobo manual, see if it tells you
the type of sensor chip on the board, and find the correct module. If not, open up your case, look for a medium sized chip, probably around .5 - 1 inch square. Read the chip ID number off of it, chuck it into google. If it comes back telling you that it's a voltage sensor, bingo ! If not, try another chip ! The
final list of modules I had to use to make it work were:
*** i2c-viapro
*** i2c-isa
*** it87
# Configure /etc/sensors.conf to work out correct values and set error margins
** This again will be dependant on you motherboard, if you run sensors and all of the values look sane, congratulations you are finished !
** If not, edit /etc/sensors.conf
-** Look for a line that starts chip "<my sensor chip>-*" eg, for my machine I looked for chip "it87-*"
+** Look for a line that starts ''
chip "<my sensor chip>-*"''
eg, for my machine I looked for ''
chip "it87-*"''
*** Disable any unconnected sensors, I had to disable in1, in5, in6 and in8, as the motherboard doesn't use them
*** Set the Vcore voltage to what your CPU uses, for my Duron 900, Vcore = 1.6v
*** read through the rest of the section and make sure it all makes sense.
# __AFTER YOU EDIT /etc/sensors.conf AND EVERY TIME YOU BOOT, RUN sensors -s__
** This sets up the set fields, without it, you max, min and alarm values will not be set in the driver.
*** You must do this as root, it has to write to the kernel space driver.
# Set up [Cacti] to make pretty graphs of your CPU, motherboard temps, your voltages and fan speeds !
