I recently built a machine based on the ASUS M5A78L/USB3 motherboard and installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on it. Most of the system sensors were automatically detected and work correctly.
However, when I run sensors
, both the CHASSIS FAN and CPU FAN fields show the actual CPU fan speed. This happens regardless of whether a chassis fan is actually installed. BIOS (v1003, latest) shows the correct readings.
My question is, is it possible to get lm-sensors
to report the chassis fan speed correctly with this motherboard? And if not, is there some testing/data extraction/programming that I could do to help debug this?
I have already tried sudo sensors-detect
. It reports that all needed modules are already loaded. I have also tried searching Ask Ubuntu and Google, and could not find a solution.

CPU FAN Speed: 4655 RPM (min = 600 RPM)
CHASSIS FAN Speed: 4655 RPM (min = 600 RPM)
CPU Temperature: +50.0°C (high = +60.0°C, crit = +95.0°C)

fam15h_power-pci-00c4

Note that both the CPU FAN and CHASSIS FAN fields report the CPU fan speed. This happens regardless of whether a chassis fan is installed.
Summary from sensors-detect
:
Driver `to-be-written':
* ISA bus, address 0x290
Chip `ITE IT8728F Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9)
Driver `fam15h_power' (autoloaded):
* Chip `AMD Family 15h power sensors' (confidence: 9)
Driver `k10temp' (autoloaded):
* Chip `AMD Family 15h thermal sensors' (confidence: 9)
Note one missing driver. However, since the driver atk0110-acpi-0
already reports the fan speeds, it would seem the missing driver is not relevant to this.
