    sensors-detect only finds coretemp and thus I am unable to see temps other than my cpu. I'd really like to be able to see and control the fan of my w3j

    has anyone gotten sensors-detect to detect more than just coretemp for the w3j or similar laptop?

    thanks for the help

    People have been using SpeedFan long ago for fan control. The W3J is old enough so that SpeedFan might work -- but I wouldn't advise it, since it was starting to have compatibility problems even back then at the "J" models.

    As to the temperatures, for GPU temp use RivaTuner, and for HDD you could use MobileMeter if you run XP. Otherwise, I think Everest might help you.
