You're welcome.

 I guess I'll post it in their user forums once I figure which measurements are

The folks over at the lm_sensors list are very helpful in helping you 
figure out the configuration for your sensors.

FWIW, I've just installed these modules on my Gigabyte MA770-UD3 board
with a Phenom-II X2. I'm seeing only the CPU temp, nothing else despite
sensors-detect saying it found an it867 chip (and havng installed the
kmod-it87 package).

But the CPU temp it shows agrees within one degree or so with what the
BIOS reports when checked during a reboot, so it must be set up fairly
cloe to right without me having to muck with anything.

(my previous board, another older Gigabyte with a 32-bit Athlon needed
a lot of tweaking to get tolerably decent readings, so I'm pleased with
what I've got now.)

I had no idea these things were available, so I think all those who
have posted helpful information in this thread.

Since the elrepo kmod-k10temp/lm_sensors packages worked, then you may
also benefit from the elrepo kmod-powernow-k8 package.

With AMD Phenom II quad-cores running centos 5, kmod-powernow-k8
typically gives a 8-10C drop in core temperature at idle and a
significant reduction in power consumption at idle as described in this
centos bug report:

http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=3766

You will also likely notice that your cpu fan slows down at idle. It is
worth installing the kmod if just to quieten down the cpu fan.

As per the bug report, this issue should be fixed in rhel/centos 5.6

[CentOS] lm_sensors and Shuttle

2010-07-09 Thread listmail
Hi All,

I'm trying to get lm_sensors to work on a Shuttle with an AMD K10. The version
of lm_sensors in the main CentOS repo is 2.10.7, which is two years old now.
Support for the K10 was added about a year ago.

So, does anyone know if there are binaries available for more recent versions
of lm_sensors?

Also, if anyone has knowledge of the sensors layout for recent Shuttle AMD
motherboards, that would be very helpful. The sensors-detect script from
2.10.7 doesn't detect anything useful...

Thanks,
--Bill
