I have a dual Xeon box. I got tired of the noise of the Intel boxed fans and bought a couple of Swiftech 'hedegehogs' and two ThemalTake fans. Board is an Asus PCDL and sensors chip is a w83627hf (heavily modified by Asus, I suppose, because it has 5! fan sensors). With the Intel fans, I got both rpm measures OK. With the new fans, the CPU0 fan insists it is stopped at 0 RPM. And I see it spinning. It is correctly plugged and the Xeon temperature stays nicely at 32=BA C. And the more strange thing is that the hardware monitor in the BIOS tells me it is spinning at about 2500 RPM !!! And the own BIOS says at boot that my CPU FAN IS STOPPED. Any idea ? Apart from the BIOS POST message, the problem related to kernel is: why bios monitor gives 2500 and sensors 0 ? TIA Ah, as a collateral damage, I also have one other fan connected to SYS_FAN1, for which lm_sensors never gave me an speed, always 0. :( What a mess... -- J.A.
