Summary0000386: Not Detecting Sensor LM63
DescriptionEverest Home and ATITool is able to find sensor...
GPU Sensor Type National LM63 (ATI-I2C 4Ch)
and displays both GPU and GPU Ambient Temps for my Sapphire ATI X850XT. Speedfan 4.23 added full support for NATIONAL SEMICONDUCTOR LM99 and LM63. What can I do to help Speedfan detect LM63?

Additional InformationThis has become an important issue because mCubed T-Balancer recently added support on 10/27/05 to read temps from Speedfan. My CPU & GPU are watercooled and T-Balancer adjusts the radiator fans based on CPU & GPU Temps. But I cant seem to get GPU temps into Speedfan for my T-Balancer to read them.

Other people using Speedfan and X-series ATI video cards have stated that thier video cards temps are displayed as "Remote 1" & "Remote 2". My Speedfan shows a "Remote 1" & "Remote 2", but the temps are both 0c.

Correction: My Speedfan Display shows "Local Temp" & "Remote Temp" both for LM84. Is this a mistake that it finds LM84 for X850 instead of LM63? or is this LM84 for something else completly?

While SpeedFan properly handles the LM63, it still needs to be able to access ATI I2C bus. I'm actively working on this.

Could you email me the exact model of your video card?
I might decide to buy it for my tests.

Hey alfredo, it's been almost 4 years since you've been working on this one.
SpeedFan doesn't detect LM63 on my Gigabyte Radeon HD4850 at all. If I could help you somehow on it, let me know.

I found something interesting: the temperature readings don't come from the LM63. The LM63 on my GPU seems innaccessible through I2C (doesn't respond) and system reports 4 different temps for the GPU: Core, Shader, Memory and Display I/O, while LM63 provides only 2 temps (internal and remote, which means there would have to be 2-4 of them). Furthermore, a different monitoring app also reports no access to LM63 and uses some other mysterious source for those 4 temps. I'm curious how to access that source to read the tempz...
