Wrong values for it8712F-A (Examined/Solved - lm_sensors 2.6.3 / Linux 2.4.18)

[contact]

Hi,

i just installed lmsensors 2.6.3 following the quickstart file. I have a

Gigabyte GA-6IEM motherbord, it has a ITE IT8712F-A on board.

Probing seems to work:

---

Probing for 'ITE IT8705F / IT8712F / SiS 950'

Trying address 0x0290... Success!

(confidence 8, driver 'it87')

---

Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.

Just press ENTER to continue:

Driver 'lm78' (may not be inserted):

Misdetects:

• ISA bus address 0x0290 (Busdriver 'i2c-isa')

Chip 'National Semiconductor LM78' (confidence: 7)

Driver 'it87' (should be inserted):

Detects correctly:

• ISA bus address 0x0290 (Busdriver 'i2c-isa')

Chip 'ITE IT8705F / IT8712F / SiS 950' (confidence: 8)

#----cut here----

# I2C adapter drivers

modprobe i2c-isa

# I2C chip drivers

modprobe it87

To make the sensors modules behave correctly, add these lines to either

/etc/modules.conf or /etc/conf.modules:

#----cut here----

# I2C module options

alias char-major-89 i2c-dev

#----cut here----

after loading the modules "sensors" gives me the following output:

it87-isa-0290

Adapter: ISA adapter

Algorithm: ISA algorithm

VCore 1: +1.42 V (min = +1.42 V, max = +1.56 V) ALARM

VCore 2: +1.28 V (min = +2.40 V, max = +2.60 V) ALARM

+3.3V: +6.78 V (min = +3.12 V, max = +3.44 V) ALARM

+5V: +5.07 V (min = +4.72 V, max = +5.24 V)

+12V: +11.56 V (min = +11.36 V, max = +12.60 V)

-12V: -5.81 V (min = -12.63 V, max = -11.41 V) ALARM

-5V: -4.59 V (min = -5.28 V, max = -4.81 V) ALARM

Stdby: +5.11 V (min = +4.72 V, max = +5.24 V)

VBat: +3.13 V

fan1: 6683 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 2)

fan2: 0 RPM (min = 3000 RPM, div = 2) ALARM

fan3: 0 RPM (min = 3000 RPM, div = 2) ALARM

Temp1/MB: +25C (min = +20C, max = +40C)

Temp2/CPU: +85C (min = +25C, max = +45C)

Temp3: +78C (min = +25C, max = +45C)

So all the values are wrong, i've read doc/chips/it87 but am still lost.

What do i have to do to fix these values ?

lmsensors runs fine on all my other computers, so keep up the good work :)

Regards,

Nick

--- Things don't look that bad.

See it87 section in sensors.conf which will fix 3.3V reading.

It also has advice for the negative voltages.
