The 'chip "it87-*" "it8712-*"' is not relevant for your it8716-*. Do you
have a line

chip "it8716-*"

? If not, perhaps you should upgrade to a newer lm-sensors package, or
put that line and the following values into your sensors.conf:

label in0 "VCore"
label in1 "VDDR"
label in2 "+3.3V" # VCC3
label in3 "+5V" # VCC
label in4 "+12V"
# label in5 "-12V"
# label in6 "-5V"
label in7 "5VSB" # VCCH
label in8 "VBat"

Thank you, that was the clue I needed. Found the source, grabbed
etc/sensors.conf.eg and stuck that section in /etc/sensors.conf. I must
have been overzealous when trimming /etc/sensors.conf earlier, probably
before I did "sensors -s" when it would have shown generic names no
matter what.

I have the same MB. One thing that puzzles me is that I get

temp3: -9.00 (temp3). Is this because 3 temps are not supported, or is
there a malfunction or misconfiguration? And fan2 is zero, but as I don't
know which fan this is supposed (in a case with 3 fans) to be I can't say
for sure whether it's connected. Any suggestion which one this is? Fan1
is presumably the cpu, and fan3 I think is the PSU.

This MB is actually the "SLi" variant. There are three 3-pin fan
headers on the MB. They're labeled "CPU_FAN", PWR_FAN and CHA_FAN.
Technically you could hook them up to whatever fans you wanted though.
In the past I've changed which fan goes to a given sensor because the
sensor in one fan was intermittently bad.

I have a variable-speed gizmo on the CPU fan, so I can confirm that it's
fan1 (the corner header on the MB). The others I've connected to two of
my case fans, but I'm not sure which two. I guess I'll have to unplug
them and see what goes to 0 RPM.

Temps I have this:

CPU Temp: +27 C (low = +20 C, high = +50 C) sensor = diode
temp2: +36 C (low = -1 C, high = +127 C) sensor = thermistor
temp3: +25 C (low = -1 C, high = +127 C) sensor = thermistor

I've figured that temp1 is CPU, because that one goes up when I compile
the kernel. The other two, got me. Why do you only have two? Maybe
the SLi varsiant has an extra sensor? I'm using this:

sensors version 2.10.3 with libsensors version 2.10.3

Also, gkrellm shows 5 ("THRM", the three above, and "nVidia GPU core").
That last one drops when I crank up the CPU fan. I'm guessing better
circulation in the case. Any way to get at those from CLI?

My temperature calculation is this (stock):

Hm, they're not calculated. Maybe the sensor returns the correct value?
You can put a line "ignore temp3" in there if you're pretty sure it's
bogus.

OK, CPU_FAN is fan1 (I knew that), CHA_FAN is fan2, and PWR_FAN is fan3.

I tried changing it in /etc/sensors.conf and restarting lm-sensors but
that didn't make any difference.

echo 8 >/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/device/fan3_div
gives "Permission denied", even when I'm root.

Maybe it's time to take the case off again and check the wires.

THRM I found in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature .

A method for accessing the nVidia core temp was described by MaegRil in
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archiv.../t-109807.html as

nvidia-settings -q gpucoretemp

or to grab just the number,

nvidia-settings -q gpucoretemp | grep -e Attribute | awk '{print $4}' | tr -d '[unct:],[:blank:]'

He says that's basically what gkrellm does, so accessing it probably won't
get much simpler than that. You could reduce it to one nasty command
(your choice which one; I'd use "sed"), but odds are it wouldn't be any
shorter.
