Bingo- Added a line in grub as per comment 11 in that link, Now I see all sorts of things: (including the fan speed!) pet...@peterm-desktop:~$ sensors acpitz-virtual-0 Adapter: Virtual device temp1: +53.0°C (crit = +70.0°C) it8712-isa-0290 Adapter: ISA adapter in0: +1.34 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V) in1: +2.62 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V) in2: +3.22 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V) in3: +2.96 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V) in4: +2.99 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V) in5: +3.02 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V) in6: +1.57 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V) in7: +2.91 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V) Vbat: +3.20 V fan1: 7848 RPM (min = 0 RPM) fan2: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM) fan3: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM) temp1: +53.0°C (low = +65.0°C, high = +70.0°C) sensor = thermal diode temp2: +36.0°C (low = +127.0°C, high = +70.0°C) sensor = thermistor temp3: +41.0°C (low = +127.0°C, high = +70.0°C) sensor = thermistor cpu0_vid: +0.000 V I can't find a "this bug affects me" toggle though, or I would. Maybe I have to signup and login. So my next step is to figure out how to see fan speed, and maybe some of these other temperatures, in Conky or ksensors, then how to control fan speed. btw - I opened up my PSU and soldered up the wire that I had cut to the second fan this morning, and I honestly can't tell the difference. According to the box for the PSU, it has 'intelligent fan control' whatever that is.
