M4A79XTD EVO
config will come per pm.

on: acc, c1e, usb, fan control (setting to optimal), ahci modus, on on 
keyboard/space bar, some other stuff. 
Off onboard sound, firewire, serial and all the other stuff I never use... oh 
and 
PNP OS, if I remember correctly.

yeah and if you ignore that it should start rotating after a short while. The 
starting volts at room temperature are too low, but as soon as the cpu heats 
up, the volts increase and the fan spins.

that it87blabla can be accessed by acpi stuff but the it87 driver does not know 
about it - or something like that. Read about it a few month ago and forgot 
everything.
