Many motherboards have Usenet newgroups. You might find help there. (If you're not familiar with Usenet, you can use Google Groups to search Usenet archives.) Just out of curiosity, I Googled IT8718 in5. I noticed that lm-sensors has a mailing list. That might be another information source. There is a Windows counterpart of lm-sensors: Motherboard Monitor. It hasn't been supported for several years, but last time I checked, it still had an online forum. That also might be an information source. _______________________________________________ Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) MHVLS Auditorium Feb 6 - DBUS Mar 5 - Setting up a platform-independent home/small office network using Linux
