14Description
15-----------
16
17The NCT7904D is a hardware monitor supporting up to 20 voltage sensors,
18internal temperature sensor, Intel PECI and AMD SB-TSI CPU temperature
19interface, up to 12 fan tachometer inputs, up to 4 fan control channels
20with SmartFan.

23Sysfs entries
24-------------

26Currently, the driver supports only the following features:
27
28in[1-20]_input Input voltage measurements (mV)
29
30fan[1-12]_input Fan tachometer measurements (rpm)
31
32temp1_input Local temperature (1/1000 degree,
33 0.125 degree resolution)
34
35temp[2-9]_input CPU temperatures (1/1000 degree,
36 0.125 degree resolution)
37
38fan[1-4]_mode R/W, 0/1 for manual or SmartFan mode
39 Setting SmartFan mode is supported only if it has been
40 previously configured by BIOS (or configuration EEPROM)
41
42fan[1-4]_pwm R/O in SmartFan mode, R/W in manual control mode
43
44The driver checks sensor control registers and does not export the sensors
45that are not enabled. Anyway, a sensor that is enabled may actually be not
46connected and thus provide zero readings.
