More Odd Results (Examined/Solved - lm_sensors 2.6.4, Linux 2.4.19)

[contact]

I've read through the FAQ and docs about the various odd results that can occur,

and I don't think mine fall into any of those that were mentioned. I'm not sure

if the "alarms" I'm getting are potentially harmful or not, so I'd like to get

some input. If they're normal or a product of bad specs, then that's fine as

long as I know.

I have questions about readings on TWO machines:

MACHINE 1

Chip: via686a-isa-6000

Readings:

CPU core: +1.66 V (min = +1.79 V, max = +2.18 V) ALARM

This voltage is _below_ the min... which is probably better than above the max,

but it still worries me.

MACHINE 2

chip: w83781d-isa-0290

Readings:

in0: +1.50 V (min = +4.08 V, max = +4.08 V) ALARM

in1: +2.03 V (min = +4.08 V, max = +4.08 V) ALARM

These two are WWAAYY below what they should be. But then again the min/max are

the same and thus could be wrong. Anything to worry about.

Thanks,

Phil

#1 your limits are probably wrong. set the limits in sensors.conf.

#2 how do you know these are too low? Did you put a voltmeter on

the sensor pins? set the limits correctly in sensors.conf and run sensors -s.

I wouldn't worry about any of it until you are certain you have the

calculations and limits correct.
