Well I tried both : my old sensors.conf for the same machine, and the latest Debian version. With the Debian file I get such nonsensical max settings as : P/S Fan: 2220 RPM (min = 56250 RPM, div = 8) ALARM Yep, that's fifty-six thousand RPM, no wonder the ALARM goes off. Anyways, setting manual max RPM worked fine, but as opposed to what is said in the sensors.conf, the defaults are NOT fine :) Also some of the readings are still offset by quite a bit, but I know there's not much to do about it except trial and error with various compute lines until the value is in the expected range, since the mobo manufacturers won't provide much data (especially for VIA)... Cheers, Romain
