build all sensor drivers AND all transport as modules run sensors-detect edit lm_sensors conf in /etc/conf rc-update add lm_sensors default pwmconfig lots of stuff rc-update add fancontrol default. There are some problems with asus boards. They need some acpi support - and if they can do the fancontrol you have to deactivate that in the bios (google!). I used fancontrol with all my asrock boards. With my Asus board I am using the bios control, because it works pretty well. And always. And for all three fans connected. Even the ones connected with 3pin connectors.
