(I know what ISA bus is.) It means the sensor chip is accessed through the i2c_isa driver. > What is VCore? Should I be concerned it is out of spec? The voltage supplied to your CPU. Is it really out of spec? Have you edited /etc/sensors.conf to match your processor's voltage specification? > What is V5SB? (5V Supply to USB?) 5 Volts StandBy. It's the voltage supplied even when your computer is "off". > What is VBat? (Lithium CMOS backup?) Looks like it's out of > spec. Not sure. See sensors.conf. > What is fan1? (Power supply?) It's whatever fan is connected to the first fan controller of your sensor chip. It's up to the motherboard manufacturer how the various fan connectors are wired. > Why is it "div = 2"? What does this mean? It's the "divisor" used to control the fan RPM counter. The larger the divisor, the longer the chip counts the pulses to get the RPM value. > I think I know what CPU Fan is, but why is it "div = 2"? Because it's set that way in sensors.conf or by default. > What is fan3? Why is it "div = 8"? As above. > In regards to M/B Temp, does "high = +120°C, hyst = +115°C" > mean that the fan comes on at 120C, and continues to run' > until temp drops to 115C? (IOW, Onset is 120, abatement is > 115?) No. The limits are the alarm limits for the lm-sensors software and they aren't related to fan control. Your CPU would be fried long before the temperature reaches 120C. > What is temp3? Any temperature sensor the motherboard manufacturer has chosen to connect to the third temperature channel of the sensor chip. > What is VID data? Should I be concerned it is unavailable? Voltage ID, it specifies the core voltage that your CPU should use. Without it you must set the VCore limits manually by editing sensors.conf. > What is a EEPROM sensor? (I know what EEPROM usually means.) A serial EEPROM readable through the lm-sensors software. Usually used for the SPD info on RAM modules. > What is SMBus? (Anything to do with SMP?) System Management Bus, a modified version of the I2C bus. A quote from the spec: "The System Management Bus (SMBus) is a two-wire interface through which various system component chips can communicate with each other and with the rest of the system. It is based on the principles of operation of I2C*. SMBus provides a control bus for system and power management related tasks. A system may use SMBus to pass messages to and from devices instead of tripping individual control lines. Removing the individual control lines reduces pin count. Accepting messages ensures future expandability. With System Management Bus, a device can provide manufacturer information, tell the system what its model/part number is, save its state for a suspend event, report different types of errors, accept control parameters, and return its status." -- Markku Kolkka markku.kolkka@xxxxxx
