Hello again! That was fast, I know but I think I found the solution: it seems that i8k is using a I8K_FAN_MULT=30 multiplicator for the fan speed, but newer motherboards already does that, so if using the gnome sensors applet adjust the sensor value multiplier under it's preferences at "0.033" ( the value comes from 1/30).
Now my fan speed is 3005RPM which is a way more trusted value indeed! Where I got this stuff from: http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/3/12/155 Now the question is how could the i8k be patched not to show the value multiplied on certain motherboards/bioses? -- i8k fan speed values are wrong https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200449 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
