lmsensors and cpu temp
 

running mepis 6.5 on athalon x2 4600
ecs motherboard geforce6100sm-m

I first used speed fan in windows and found there is a cpu temp
sensor on isa bus at address 290. it8712f chip

In linux I ran sensors-detect

and found this stuff in modules

# Generated by sensors-detect on Fri Jun 22 17:58:39 2007
# I2C adapter drivers
# modprobe unknown adapter NVIDIA i2c adapter 0 at 0:0d.0

# I2C chip drivers
eeprom
it87

then checked by typing this

david@1[~]$ su
Password:
root@1[david]# modprobe i2c-isa
root@1[david]# modprobe it87
root@1[david]# sensors
No sensors found!
root@1[david]#

I would like to be able to see the temp sensor

Did you load the eeprom module?

how to load
 

I suppose you type modeprob eeprom (how to load?)

this might not be a problem because I am running
k sensors and it displays a processor temp of 56
because I am running two boinc fight aids at home projects (faah)

I thought it was incorrectly displaying the hard drive temp
but now that I am running boinc it seems obvious this should be the
correct sensor though I don't know if the temperature is correct.

yesterday I tried this in windows with two faah projects
and the temperature was running 47 -48 deg. maybe i just need
to set the multiplier but still I don't know if this is the
right sensor since it said no sensors, could ksensors find
a cpu temp sensor even thought lm sensors did not load one.
