It produces equally strange results: # mbmon -I Temp.= 208.0, 0.0, 0.0; Rot.= 8035, 3443, 3515 Vcore = 4.08, 4.08; Volt. = 4.08, 5.03, 11.49, 0.72, 1.94 That's 208 degrees C, not believable. mbmon wouldn't talk to the smbus, if I ran it like this it produced the following: # mbmon -S InitMBInfo: Device not configured # mbmon -d -A SMBus[Intel8XX(ICH/ICH2/ICH3/ICH4/ICH5/ICH6)] found, but No HWM available on it!! Summary of Detection: * ISA monitor(s): ** Winbond Chip W83627HF/THF/THF-A found. This chip is definitely supported by mbmon. I read through the motherboard manual. It makes no mention to this chip. The sensor appears to be built into the motherboard and supported by the cpu. In other words, there's nothing special to do, I do not need a separate sensor under the chip, it's all built-in. The temperature should be more like 40C and the system should automatically shut down at about 80C, so 208C is definitely not right. What other things have people done when this data reported by healthd and mbmon are totally wacko? Michael Grant
