[ubuntu] lm-sensors and Core I7

[dax2112rush]

Hi all,

I just bought a Core i7 system and I'd like to have some CPU temperature readouts. I tried using lm-sensors (last version from Jaunty repository) and sensors-detect can't find any sensor.

What would I need to do in order to have core i7 support into lm-sensors?
Would I have to build a new debian package with SVN version of lm-sensors?
If so, is there a nice tutorial demonstrating how to upgrade a ubuntu package to latest SVN version? (I once tried to update jackd package and failed miserably...)

CPU: Core i7 920
Motherboard: Asus P6T (not Deluxe edition)
running Ubuntu 8.10 x86-64 on 2.6.27-9-generic kernel!

Thanks
Ric

Recently I purchased a p6t deluxe with an i7 920. My lm-sensors does not find any sensors as well. This makes overclocking slightly precarious at best. I assume that the Greater Gods of Ubuntu will fix this shortly, otherwise I will not run my prcessor at full power

Hi,

I have the same problem with Asus P6T Deluxe and i7 920. I am running 64
bit version of Ubuntu.

I have followed this guide.

Here the only thing detected:

Probing for `Analog Devices ADT7473'... Success!
(confidence 5, driver `to-be-written')

Everything else is marked as 'No'. I have full log if needed.

Regards

According to this:

a new version of lm-sensors is due shortly that will add more supported hardware to the suite.

New hardware support would be nice, I just built a computer with an Asus P6T and Core i7 920 and realized that it knew nothing of the sensors.

I'm stuck too xDD

Anybody tested the 3.0.3 version?

I have a i7 & Asus P6T Deluxe

Sorry, no sensors were detected. Either your sensors are not supported, or they are connected to an I2C or SMBus adapter that is not supported. See http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/FAQ/Chapter3 for further information. If you find out what chips are on your board, check http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices for driver status.

jarl!

I installed last lm-sensors from source. (3.1.0)


Mini HowTo:

Get last lm-sensors source from web page: http://dl.lm-sensors.org/lm-sensors/...-3.1.0.tar.bz2

$ tar xzvf lm-sensors-xxx.tar.gz
$ cd lm-sensors-xxx
$ sudo make user
$ sudo make user_install

After compiling and installing, you can try:

$ sudo sensors-detect

In my case the modules to load in /etc/modules:

coretemp w83627ehf force_id=0x8860

Now you can edit /etc/sensors3.conf for change labels names etc...

I think the sys temp detected are the cpu temp, and viceversa, the cpu temp detected are the sys temp

I wish this could help anyone with a Asus P6T and i7

Sorry for my terrible english ;(

I have an i7 and a p6T, and installing 3.1.0 from source did the trick on getting sensors-detect to recognize my hardware.

btw, if you install bison/flex after running "make user", you have to run "make clean" before re-compiling. That was one issue I ran into.

Finally u got the sensors?

[wallofinsanity]

Yeah the cpu temp sensors are working, but I'm getting errors when trying to load the w83627ehf driver. Did you have to do anything special to get it to work?
