It senses the -temperature of a single external diode. The high limit is -theoretically defined as 85 or 100 degrees C through a combination -of external resistors, so the user cannot change it. Values seen so -far suggest that the two possible limits are actually 95 and 110 -degrees C. The datasheet is rather poor and obviously inaccurate -on several points including this one. - -All temperature values are given in degrees Celsius. Resolution -is 1.0 degree. See the datasheet for details. - -The w83l785ts driver will not update its values more frequently than -every other second; reading them more often will do no harm, but will -return 'old' values. - -Known Issues ------------- - -On some systems (Asus), the BIOS is known to interfere with the driver -and cause read errors. The driver will retry a given number of times -(5 by default) and then give up, returning the old value (or 0 if -there is no old value). It seems to work well enough so that you should -not notice anything. Thanks to James Bolt for helping test this feature. |
