    Motherboard support? Temperature sensors?

    Hi

    I am new to fedora, and therefore some of you will find this a noob question. But as i have some problems with high temperature on hardware, i want to monitor the temperatur of my GPU and CPU.

    I have browes the forum today, without any luck. Just tried to do "sensors" in terminal, wich said no sensors installed.

    I have ASrock s939 sual sata2 motherboard, and Powercolor ATI x1900XT 256mb.

    FGLRX driver for graphic card.

    Thanks for answering.

    PS If anyone know how i can get the media keys, and other keys to work in fedora, i'd be a happy man Have Microsoft keyboard with the fingerprint reader (altho i am counting on it wont work, so dont bother with that. The problem is that when i push the mediakays etc, seems no sign is recieved. Have tried to bound keys, and "xev | grep keycode --line-buffered" from terminal. No response. I am thinking i need a driver for this.

    Thanks again

    Hello:
    You can use yum to install lm_sensors
    then you can type sensors in the terminal and get some readings

    PHP Code:
    yum info lm_sensors
    Name   
    lm_sensors
    Arch   
    i386
    Version
    2.9.2
    Release
    1
    Size   
    1.6 M
    Repo   
    installed
    Summary
    Hardware monitoring tools.

    Description:
     
    The lm_sensors package includes a collection of modules for general SMBus
    access 
    and hardware monitoring.  NOTEthis requires special support which
    is not in standard 2.2

    I am running an ASrock s939 dual sata2 MoBo. I have CPU temp and fan monitoring through gkrellm. To use this you have to install lm-sensors and gkrellm. After you do a yum or yumex install of these and reboot, start gkrellm and right click it. Choose Configure and you will find builtin (click on the arrow) and sensors. There you should find under the different arrows temperature/fans/voltages. While attempting to answer your question, I just found that my newly updated Nvidia card can be monitored for temp. The old one couldn't, or I just missed it. So thanks for asking the question. I don't know how long it would've been before I discovered that.

    To me it still didn't seem like i get any sensors up.

    I had the lm sensors already isntalled. Still
    "[mixy@Mixy ~]$ sensors
    No sensors found!"

    Hello:
    Open a terminal and log in as root and run
    sensors-detect
    the instructions are fairly easy to follow

    Seve 's suggestion is correct. I haven't done that in 11 months. Just for info my sensors are on w83627hf@290. I'm not exactly sure what that is, but when you open gkrellm after you get the sensors set up that probably will be what your devices show.

    Got a really noob question here. But at the end of the detect thing, i get
    "Copy prog/init/lm_sensors.init to /etc/rc.d/init.d/lm_sensors
    for initialization at boot time." Problem is that i cant really find "prog/init/lm_sensors.init" Anyone able to help me? I searced for the lm_sensors.init file, but coulden't find anything.

    Hello:
    Do you not just select Yes and then reboot? You do not have to copy anything afaik.
    When you reboot and open a terminal and type sensors they should be there.
    If not, then run sensors-detect again.

    Now that you have your sensors available have you tried gkrellm. It might be able to make your GPU temp available. It does for mine. Your nvidia card should supply this to gkrellm.

    Look at the specs for your cpu and Hardisk. This will vari from model to model and manufacture to manufacture (ie certain seagate drives normally operate hotter than certain WD drives are when they are overheating).

    I am currently using Fc6 with the latest updates. I have had lm-sensors running and installed for a year or so with fan and cpu sensor output available. I also use the gnome-panel-aplet to monitor the values.

    Sometime in the last 2 months but before the 2.622. and 2.6.21 kernels I lost the fan output. And now I have errors generated from the applets for the cpu, mb, voltage readings. I have gone to lm-sensors.org and there found that I need version 2.10.3 or better of lm-sensors because of how the sysfs is implemented in the 2.6.22 kernels. But, only version 2.10.1 is available from the repositories. Below is the sensor output as it is now with the 2.6.22 kernel installed:
    $ sensors
    k8temp-pci-00c3
    Adapter: PCI adapter
    Core0 Temp:
    +34°C

    Temp3: +128°C (low = -1°C, high = +127°C) sensor = disabled

    I am a little confused from this thread as to wether I should add modprobe <sensor id> to the rc.local init file or not. It is what is reccommended by the sensors detect command.
