Re: [opensuse] Interesting CPU Fan Noise Observation

Per,

This is on a MSI K9N2 board. How do I tell what it uses (module, etc.)
to feedback the temp information?

Look at the lmsensors stuff - there is a utility called sensors-detect.
I suspect the sensor chip is "Fintek F71882FG/F71883FG Super IO
Sensors", which is what I have on my K9A2 (the cheap version).
Do an lsmod and you should see a module called 'f71882fg' (or something
very similar).

Also, this has an AMI BIOS that has a new feature located in the H/W
MONITOR bios page that I haven't played with yet. It is CPU SMART FAN
TARGET that looks like it allows me to specify the CPU target
temperature or [40 45 50 55] degrees. I presume that this will affect
the feedback or gain on the fan control.

I don't know if the Fintek chip will allow you to modify the settings,
but lmsensors might just have some support for it.
