Asus A7V - almost all sensed values are wrong (Examined/Solved - From RedHat 7.1)

[contact]

On a lark I tried the sensors package as installed with Redhat 7.1.

It's a bit more complex to set up than it needs to be (I don't really

care enough about this issue for all the hassle and long wordy documentation).

But, it detected, worked, and gave almost totally bogus results:

[root@HardHat? bryce]# sensors -v

sensors version 1.3

[root@HardHat? bryce]# sensors

via686a-isa-e200

Adapter: ISA adapter

Algorithm: ISA algorithm

CPU core: +3.03 V (min = +1.79 V, max = +2.18 V) ALARM

+2.5V: +3.03 V (min = +2.24 V, max = +2.74 V) ALARM

I/O: +3.44 V (min = +2.95 V, max = +3.62 V)

+5V: +6.28 V (min = +4.47 V, max = +5.49 V) ALARM

+12V: +15.22 V (min = +15.28 V, max = +15.28 V) ALARM

CPU Fan: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 2)

P/S Fan: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 2)

SYS Temp: -68.8C (limit = +50C, hysteresis = +146C)

CPU Temp: -68.3C (limit = +50C, hysteresis = +60C)

SBr Temp: +25.8C (limit = +50C, hysteresis = +60C)

My computer is fine, in fact, not melting. It even has a spinning CPU

fan. But there's no liquid nitrogen cooling my CPU or system.

This A7V has a Duron CPU (my Athlon did in fact melt :-).

It's a VIA KT133 based board (

 http://www.asus.com/products/Motherboard/socketa/a7v/index.html )

And supports "PC health monitoring" whatever that is.

--- On this board, most of the sensors are provided by a

as99127f; most of the via sensors aren't connected on the board.

Try loading the w83781d module for the other sensors.
