Not finding case/cpu fans.

[Bram Stolk]

I'm a happy user of psensor, but somehow it fails to find the CPU fan and case fan?

(It does show the GPU fans.)

Note that ipmitool does find all the fans, but psensor does not?

Thanks!

Hello Bram,

psensor is using lm-sensors.

Does the 'sensors' command get you access to these fans?

Unfortunately, no, lm sensors also does not see them:
