Interpretation of sne

[ticket]

Hello,

I am not sure what the SYS temperature and the SBr temperature represent. Is SBr the main board temperature ? And what is the SYS temperature ? I have no idea what could be 52 ° C warm except for the CPU.. And am I assuming correctly that the P/S fan is the chassis fan ?

Can anybody please shed some light on that ?

Thanks Tilman

Configuration questions are better sent to the lm-sensors mailing list.

SBr stands for "south bridge", i.e. the VIA VT82C686 chip itself. It is supposed to be an internal sensor, but we have had conflicting reports over time, which make us think that not all chip revisions have this internal sensor. So it may or may not report sensible values.

The default labels in sensors.conf may not match your hardware. In your case, it is rather obvious that the SYS Temp and CPU Temp labels are swapped: temp1 is most certainly the CPU temperature and temp2 would be the system temperature.

P/S stands for "power supply" but most systems can't monitor the speed of the power supply fan. So it is indeed the chassis fan on most systems and you should change the label to "Case Fan".
