[SOLVED] Configuring atk0110 on lm_sensors

I want to experiment with the different fan speeds to see if I can reduce the overall noise.

My motheboard is an Asus P6TD Deluxe.

Running `sensors` gives the following output:

atk0110-acpi-0
Adapter: ACPI interface
Vcore Voltage:       +0.93 V  (min =  +0.80 V, max =  +1.60 V)
 +3.3 Voltage:       +3.28 V  (min =  +2.97 V, max =  +3.63 V)
 +5 Voltage:         +5.12 V  (min =  +4.50 V, max =  +5.50 V)
 +12 Voltage:       +12.08 V  (min = +10.20 V, max = +13.80 V)
CPU FAN Speed:       917 RPM  (min =  600 RPM, max = 7200 RPM)
CHASSIS1 FAN Speed:  520 RPM  (min =  600 RPM, max = 7200 RPM)
CHASSIS2 FAN Speed:  750 RPM  (min =  600 RPM, max = 7200 RPM)
CHASSIS3 FAN Speed:  981 RPM  (min =  600 RPM, max = 7200 RPM)
POWER FAN Speed:       0 RPM  (min =    0 RPM, max = 7200 RPM)
CPU Temperature:     +40.0°C  (high = +60.0°C, crit = +75.0°C)
MB Temperature:      +39.0°C  (high = +45.0°C, crit = +75.0°C)

coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0:       +42.0°C  (high = +80.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 1:       +38.0°C  (high = +80.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 2:       +40.0°C  (high = +80.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 3:       +37.0°C  (high = +80.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

radeon-pci-0200
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1:        +55.0°C  (crit = +120.0°C, hyst = +90.0°C)

Trying to add an entry in /etc/sensors3.conf with "atk0110-*" doesn't seem to work.. I try:
"set fan1_min 0", but get errors that I'm using illegal values.

My google-fu doesn't turn up any configurations for atk0110.

Does anyone have a configuration for this chipset?

EDIT: Btw, I have used sensors-detect, which gave me an lm_sensors configurationfile containing:
HWMON_MODULES="coretemp w83627ehf"

I don't understand why it doesn't list atk0110 there..

EDIT2: Seems even root doesn't have access to controlling the fans.
ls -l /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/fan1_min
shown read only for everyone.

Re: [SOLVED] Configuring atk0110 on lm_sensors

asus_atk0110 reads the sensors using a proprietary interface provided by the ASUS ACPI firmware. IIRC this interface is read only and that's why asus_atk0110 will never be able to change fan configuration.

Most motherboards provide some degree of control over the fan controller in the BIOS setup - try that. If you are not satisfied, see this - FWIW, it worked for me

I have set them as silent in the BIOS and added powersaving for my ATI card. It's a lot quiter, but not quite... Seems the biggest offender is the power supply though (Corsair TX850W). It doesn't have fan connector, so I guess it's not possible to control it manually.

That FAQ is quite scare on that settings, and I haven't actually tried it with this motherboard before - I guess I'll leave that be for the time being and rather try it if the noise is killing me.

Thanks for the input!
