20 This parameter is not recommended, it will lose motherboard specific
21 settings. Use 'reset=1' to reset the chip when loading this module.
23 * force_subclients=bus,caddr,saddr1,saddr2
24 This is used to force the i2c addresses for subclients of
25 a certain chip. Typical usage is `force_subclients=0,0x2f,0x4a,0x4b'
26 to force the subclients of chip 0x2f on bus 0 to i2c addresses
33 This driver implements support for Winbond W83793G/W83793R chips.
36 This driver exports 10 voltage sensors, up to 12 fan tachometer inputs,
37 6 remote temperatures, up to 8 sets of PWM fan controls, SmartFan
38 (automatic fan speed control) on all temperature/PWM combinations, 2
39 sets of 6-pin CPU VID input.
42 If your motherboard maker used the reference design, the resolution of
43 voltage0-2 is 2mV, resolution of voltage3/4/5 is 16mV, 8mV for voltage6,
44 24mV for voltage7/8. Temp1-4 have a 0.25 degree Celsius resolution,
45 temp5-6 have a 1 degree Celsiis resolution.
47 * Temperature sensor types
48 Temp1-4 have 2 possible types. It can be read from (and written to)
50 - If the value is 3, it starts monitoring using a remote termal diode
52 - If the value is 6, it starts monitoring using the temperature sensor
53 in Intel CPU and get result by PECI.
54 Temp5-6 can be connected to external thermistors (value of
58 For voltage sensors, an alarm triggers if the measured value is below
59 the low voltage limit or over the high voltage limit.
60 For temperature sensors, an alarm triggers if the measured value goes
61 above the high temperature limit, and wears off only after the measured
62 value drops below the hysteresis value.
63 For fan sensors, an alarm triggers if the measured value is below the
66 * SmartFan/PWM control
67 If you want to set a pwm fan to manual mode, you just need to make sure it
68 is not controlled by any temp channel, for example, you want to set fan1
69 to manual mode, you need to check the value of temp[1-6]_fan_map, make
70 sure bit 0 is cleared in the 6 values. And then set the pwm1 value to
73 Each temperature channel can control all the 8 PWM outputs (by setting the
74 corresponding bit in tempX_fan_map), you can set the temperature channel
75 mode using temp[1-6]_pwm_enable, 2 is Thermal Cruise mode and 3
76 is the SmartFanII mode. Temperature channels will try to speed up or
77 slow down all controlled fans, this means one fan can receive different
78 PWM value requests from different temperature channels, but the chip
79 will always pick the safest (max) PWM value for each fan.
81 In Thermal Cruise mode, the chip attempts to keep the temperature at a
82 predefined value, within a tolerance margin. So if tempX_input >
83 thermal_cruiseX + toleranceX, the chip will increase the PWM value,
84 if tempX_input < thermal_cruiseX - toleranceX, the chip will decrease
85 the PWM value. If the temperature is within the tolerance range, the PWM
86 value is left unchanged.
88 SmartFanII works differently, you have to define up to 7 PWM, temperature
89 trip points, defining a PWM/temperature curve which the chip will follow.
90 While not fundamentally different from the Thermal Cruise mode, the
91 implementation is quite different, giving you a finer-grained control.
94 If the case open alarm triggers, it will stay in this state unless cleared
95 by writing 0 to the sysfs file "intrusion0_alarm".
98 The VRM version is detected automatically, don't modify the it unless you
99 *do* know the cpu VRM version and it's not properly detected.
105 Only Fan1-5 and PWM1-3 are guaranteed to always exist, other fan inputs and
106 PWM outputs may or may not exist depending on the chip pin configuration.
