lm-sensors and asus z170a motherboard

[Segfault]

Get the latest SystemResqueCD, put it in a USB stick. (I keep one in my pocket at all times, it is handy in many different situations.) Boot the alternative kernel from it - it is the newest kernel. Check out with lsmod what is loaded, use sensors-detect to determine if your sensors are supported.

kernel backporting is definitely the way to go here.
and maybe some other apps too.

i hope you figure it out. backporting a kernel is a fairly common thing and well documented.

aside:
current testing (i can never get the names straight; is it sid?) will become stable pretty soon.
it would be the best choice.
maybe you should just wait a while.

Hello,
I'm still waiting for some advise.
*Bump*

What happens when you run this? -

Code: Select all

apt-get install -s -t jessie-backports linux-image-amd64 linux-base

The "-s" is for simulate so it will show what will happen when you run it without actually doing it. If it looks ok, run the same command without the "-s".

Thanks guys,
actually I have been able to install new kernel and linux-base also.
I got some news about lm-sensors after sensors-detect. Here is the new output of sensors

Code: Select all

acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:        +27.8°C  (crit = +119.0°C)
temp2:        +29.8°C  (crit = +119.0°C)

nouveau-pci-0100
Adapter: PCI adapter
fan1:        1230 RPM
temp1:        +43.0°C  (high = +95.0°C, hyst =  +3.0°C)
                       (crit = +105.0°C, hyst =  +5.0°C)
                       (emerg = +135.0°C, hyst =  +5.0°C)

coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Physical id 0:  +50.0°C  (high = +80.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 0:         +27.0°C  (high = +80.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 1:         +50.0°C  (high = +80.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 2:         +26.0°C  (high = +80.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 3:         +28.0°C  (high = +80.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

asus-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
cpu_fan:        0 RPM

of course, as you can see, there still some problems. The output still not showing the values that I need...

I have a Gigabyte H170 mobo which only shows the same sensors as yours (except nouveau). I doubt you will get any more. At least you have nouveau GPU temp as well with your new kernel.

I'm not sure about it. I think that there are missed voltages and many other informations which usually exist in each mobo, like my old mobo I had (asus p5q3 deluxe). Actually I have two different fans for liquid cooling in cpu fan thread and in cpu opt thread and, of course, they are not at 0 rpm as sensors output says. So, my conclusion is, lm-sensors is still not working properly.

maybe if now you also backport lm-sensors and relevant dependencies?
it just might help.

on a side-note, i personally find temperature to be by far the most important reading.
fan speed is a nice extra, but not really essential.
