Billl: Ever thought about selling them since they are simply collecting dust?

Got one but I want more!! Finances are a bit on the short side nowadays but once that improves I will try to find others...

I was using your sensors.conf... Excellent! I think that is the issue then. In my sensors.conf I had the following: # Turning on speaker beep (for alarms): set beep_enable 1 So you got two options here: 1. Change the 1 to 0 to turn off the alarm. 2. use the "sensors" program to figure out what exac...

Is it just me or does pwmconfig cause the machine to make bleeping noises? Hmm... Could it be that your sensors are doing it? open up a console and write "sensors". Check if you have any "ALARM" indicators there. If you do, and if you have turned on beeping in the sensors.conf file then I would ass...

Thanks for your reply Hyperspace. I can see by the output that you posted that pwmconfig only finds one fan that it can change the speed of. That is pretty strange given that you have a tach on both which should be enough. Question: Are both fans of the same type? After running pwmconfig and after i...

I upgraded my BP6 with the latest BIOS a couple of months back and I have recently begun messing about with the HPT366 controller under Linux. I am going to write something about it in the Linux section but I want to do some more testing, prodding and poking before I put my money where my mouth is :...

No problem I got more in store as well. I have been playing around with HPT366 and I got some interesting things to report under Linux....

After a bit more reading I found out some interesting programs in the sensors package that are not well known. They are called pwmconfig and fancontrol. The purpose of these two programs is to allow the user to control the fan speeds through the pwm control provided by chips such as the w83782d. Whi...

You're welcome

InactiveX: Thanks for your words of encouragement! I positively love tinkering with the BP6 and it is a great motherboard. It also helps to have such a helpful and dedicated community built around it and I definitely don't mind sharing all these new things that I find out about the BP6. When I first...

AMD will follow, cause they were never for overclockers, because then why did they lock the multiplyer on XP's even though on some of them you could unlock it.... Actually, the real reason for locking the processors was not to discourage people like you and me. It was to counteract those that were ...

hehehe! Pub is good. Been awhile for me though

Allright, I will log on when the kiddos are asleep, although I am not sure how that will turn out tonight. Sweden is playing Denmark in the Eurocup so I will be busy :) I guess your night was yesterday, huh? I guess the Croatians were so boastful about winning that they were sort of pulling everybod...

Wow you really have been busy! I shall get linux reinstalled tonight :) Changing the fan speeds in your machine by passing new info to the kernel from the command line No programs to install and run, just you and your kernel... If thats the case, then maybe a simple script could get the readout fro...

Excellent! Did you see my other post on fancontrol and pwmconfig? I know it will interest you

Hi all, I have edited the sensors.conf file so that it only contains entries that are specific to the BP6. I have also added my own comments so that it is more understandable. Feel free to post any comments, questions and/or suggestions! If you replace your sensors.conf, don't forget to back up the ...

Hyperspace: I am posting the file in the Linux section of bp6.com. There might be a few things that could be changed yet so feel free to check it out and comment!

OK, I have been doing some reading. I even downloaded and read the manual on the controller chip from Winbond. Very interesting stuff there, but it also raises a few questions. For example, in the general description I found this: The W83782D can simultaneously monitor 9 analog voltage inputs, 2 fan...

Sorry to hear about the brake-in

Good to hear that the BP6 is up and running again!

OK, I checked speedfan and it looks like he is using the w83782d for controlling the fans. I'll get back to you on this one...

24 Seven: Good information there. Thanks. Knowing that there is no tach on the third fan header changes my configuration for sensors! Would it be possile to write a a program that does the same as bp6fsb/fanspeed etc.. which make the fans slow down when the cpus are cold and as they heat up speed up...

still, linux is a pain, I think I'll stick to windows. every program takes an age to start loading. can't be fast, unless that is the trade off for it being free Funny you should say that. I good buddy of mine who owns a faster computer than my main system (he ran W2k on it and "upgraded" to XP) sa...

After tweaking the sensors software for Linux I was able to get readings down to 1600rpm on my machine. The "theoretical" lowest speed I can now read with my modifications to the software is 665rpm... I found out that both fan headers for the cpu's are broken since they don't supply 12 volts anymore...

Ho ho. The components that I would take a good look at when getting random BSOD's is power supply and memory. Start by removing all PCI cards from the machine, leave the graphics adapter in there. Remove all memory sticks except one and boot the machine. If you still get BSOD's then replace the memo...
