    479 # These seem right for my Tyan S1598: 
     479# VIA is very specific about the voltage sensor inputs, and our labels 
     480# reflect what they say.  Unfortunately, they are not at all specific about 
     481# how to convert any of the register values to real units.  Fortunately, 
     482# Jonathan Yew <j.teh@iname.com> and Alex van Kaam <darkside@chello.nl> 
     483# came through with some data for temp conversion and formulae for voltage  
     484# conversion. However, the conversions should be regarded as our best guess-  
     485# YMMV.  If you notice any glaring inaccuracies (eg. by comparing what sensors 
     486# says to what your BIOS says when you boot up), please let us know so we can 
     487# improve.

     489# On the Tyan S1598, the 2.5V sensor reads 0 and is not displayed in the BIOS,  
     490# so you may want to ignore it here.

     512# Set your temp limits here.  Remember, 'tempX_over' is the temp at which an 
     513# alarm is triggered, and 'tempX_hyst' is the temp at which an alarm turns off. 
     514# Setting tempX_hyst to a few degrees below the corresponding tempX_over  
     515# prevents an oscillation between alarm on and off states.  This kind of  
     516# oscillation is known as hyteresis, thus the name.  (You typically get the  
     517# most serious and troublesome hysteresis when a sensor triggers something to  
     518# reduce the temp, thus creating a negative feedback loop.  Even without that, 
     519# we would still get some oscillation when the temp hovers around the limit  
     520# due to noise.)
