Dear Mailing Listeners,

It seems to me to get correct "sysctl hw.sensors" output
with respect to temperature and fan speed only when entering
"BIOS setup > Power menu > Hardware monitor" followed by
"BIOS Exit and Discard Changes" before booting the machine
(see the OpenBSD 5.0 dmesg output at the end of my post).
This behaviour has been observed from the very beginning after
machine assembly independently of using OpenBSD 4.8, 4.9 or 5.0:

  Usual output:                          Output after visiting BIOS:

  hw.sensors.cpu0.temp0=55.00 degC       hw.sensors.cpu0.temp0=56.00 degC
  hw.sensors.cpu1.temp0=55.00 degC       hw.sensors.cpu1.temp0=56.00 degC
  hw.sensors.cpu2.temp0=55.00 degC       hw.sensors.cpu2.temp0=56.00 degC
  hw.sensors.cpu3.temp0=55.00 degC       hw.sensors.cpu3.temp0=56.00 degC
hw.sensors.sdtemp0.temp0=34.75 degC hw.sensors.sdtemp0.temp0=35.75 degC hw.sensors.sdtemp1.temp0=34.50 degC hw.sensors.sdtemp1.temp0=35.00 degC
* hw.sensors.lm0.temp0=9.00 degC         hw.sensors.lm0.temp0=22.00 degC
* hw.sensors.lm0.temp1=9.00 degC         hw.sensors.lm0.temp1=22.00 degC
  hw.sensors.lm0.temp2=23.00 degC        hw.sensors.lm0.temp2=23.50 degC
* hw.sensors.lm0.fan0=843 RPM            hw.sensors.lm0.fan0=998 RPM
* hw.sensors.lm0.fan1=815 RPM            hw.sensors.lm0.fan1=1004 RPM
* hw.sensors.lm0.fan2=835 RPM            hw.sensors.lm0.fan2=998 RPM
hw.sensors.lm0.volt0=0.90 VDC (VCore) hw.sensors.lm0.volt0=0.90 VDC (VCore) hw.sensors.lm0.volt1=11.40 VDC (+12V) hw.sensors.lm0.volt1=11.40 VDC (+12V) hw.sensors.lm0.volt2=3.36 VDC (+3.3V) hw.sensors.lm0.volt2=3.36 VDC (+3.3V) hw.sensors.lm0.volt3=3.36 VDC (+3.3V) hw.sensors.lm0.volt3=3.36 VDC (+3.3V) hw.sensors.lm0.volt4=-6.66 VDC (-12V) hw.sensors.lm0.volt4=-6.66 VDC (-12V)
  hw.sensors.lm0.volt5=1.66 VDC          hw.sensors.lm0.volt5=1.66 VDC
  hw.sensors.lm0.volt6=1.49 VDC          hw.sensors.lm0.volt6=1.49 VDC
hw.sensors.lm0.volt7=3.33 VDC (3.3VSB) hw.sensors.lm0.volt7=3.33 VDC (3.3VSB) hw.sensors.lm0.volt8=1.60 VDC (VBAT) hw.sensors.lm0.volt8=1.62 VDC (VBAT)

The emphasized lines significantly differ from each other and the right column coincides with display messages of "BIOS setup > Power menu > Hardware monitor". Is there some other way to "initialize" the sensors without entering BIOS setup?

Many thanks to the developers for their continuous work and development!

With best regards,
Jens
