[lm-sensors] w83627hf temp1/2/3 questions

[Russell Jones]

Hello!

I am attempting to figure out what temp1, 2, and 3 in the following 
output is actually showing:

k8temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
Core0 Temp:
              +31 C
Core1 Temp:
              +37 C

k8temp-pci-00cb
Adapter: PCI adapter
Core0 Temp:
              +28 C
Core1 Temp:
              +33 C

w83627hf-isa-0c00
Adapter: ISA adapter
VCore 1:   +2.00 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +4.08 V)
VCore 2:   +2.10 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +4.08 V)
+3.3V:     +3.34 V  (min =  +2.82 V, max =  +3.79 V)
+5V:       +5.03 V  (min =  +4.09 V, max =  +0.30 V)       ALARM
+12V:      +5.78 V  (min = +12.28 V, max =  +5.78 V)       ALARM
-12V:      -6.77 V  (min =  -0.19 V, max = -12.69 V)       ALARM
-5V:       -3.94 V  (min =  +3.44 V, max =  -1.88 V)       ALARM
V5SB:      +5.62 V  (min =  +5.75 V, max =  +4.89 V)       ALARM
VBat:      +2.88 V  (min =  +2.86 V, max =  +3.04 V)
fan1:        0 RPM  (min = 5000 RPM, div = 2)              ALARM
fan2:        0 RPM  (min = 2689 RPM, div = 2)              ALARM
fan3:        0 RPM  (min = 5487 RPM, div = 2)              ALARM
temp1:       +23 C  (high =  +103 C, hyst =   -53 C)   sensor = thermistor
temp2:     +21.0 C  (high =   +80 C, hyst =   +75 C)   sensor = thermistor
temp3:     +27.5 C  (high =   +80 C, hyst =   +75 C)   sensor = thermistor
vid:      +0.000 V  (VRM Version 2.4)
alarms:
beep_enable:
           Sound alarm enabled



I have tried going through the documentation for this hardware monitor 
chip for what is actually being monitored with no luck 
(http://www.itox.com/pages/support/wdt/W83627HF.pdf)

I am attempting to find the ambient/chassis temperature, and was hoping 
one of these three temps would be it. Any ideas?

You won't find the answer in the datasheet. The thermal sensors are
external, each board maker is free to put them wherever they want.

The CPU temperature can usually be spotted by putting heavy load (e.g.
compilation or audio/video encoding) on the CPU. The CPU temperature
would raise faster and higher than the others. The comparison with the
k8temp values, and the fact that this is the highest value reported by
w83627hf, would suggest that temp3 is the CPU temperature. Which would
leave temp1 and temp2 for case temperature. Pretty cool, but you'll
know if it is possible or not.

Second hint is to compare with what the BIOS is printing.

PS: if you have slow fans, try increasing the div values to 4 or even 8
and you may get their speeds.
