This brings up something I was trying to find a solution for over the weekend. I just purchased the latest Tyan dual Athlon motherboard (S2466N-4M)[0] and got FreeBSD 4.6 up and running on it. It's working flawlessly so far, which I'm quite pleased with. It's always a roll of the dice buying new hardware without verified compatibility reports. I would like to monitor the CPU temperature to keep an eye on how efficient my cooling setup is (these dual Athlons get hot). The motherboard uses a Winbond W83782D hardware monitoring chip and comes with Windows software which supports it. Does anyone know of an open source app which will read the temperature off of this thing, or have pointers to documentation so I can write my own? I have had no luck getting [x]mbmon to use it. mbmon seems to only support the Winbond 83627HF chip. Gkrellm only appears to support LM7[89] chips via lm_sensors. Something which provided an SNMP interface would be ideal, even if I have to write that wrapper myself, since I'd like to be able to graph it via mrtg or similiar. I've been googling around without much success. Any thoughts or suggestions on where to turn? [0] - http://www.tyan.com/products/html/tigermpx.html Brandon D.
