Introduction This document

This HOWTO is under construction, but you can find some useful informations. One day, my computer froze and the only solution was to reboot it. The problem was that my processor was too warm. So I decided to control the processor temperature. I made a research about sensors and I fund ”The Elite’s K7s5a mainboard HOWTO” from . It is the first time I saw a howto about a mainboard. And I decided to write a howto for my own mainboard, the Elite’s K7S6A mainboard.
