GENERAL DESCRIPTION
W83L786NR/NG is an evolving product of W83L785R -- Winbonds most popular hardware monitoring IC, and intelligent fan controlling IC. Specifically designed for the graphic cards and barebone /mini systems, W83L786NR/NG can be used to monitor several critical hardware parameters of the system, including voltages, fan speeds, and temperatures, which are very important for the system to work stably and properly.
FEATURES
Monitoring Items
Temperature
■ Measure the temperature with high accuracy.
■ One thermal diode sensor (current mode) connected to CPU/GPU and one remote
sensor either by thermal diode (current mode) or thermistor.
■ Programmable hysteresis and setting points (alarm thresholds) for all monitored
items.
Voltage
■ 3 voltage sensor inputs.
--- Typically for Vcore, RAM, etc.
Fan
■ 3D/2D application being used and transferring fan set to the most appropriate fan
speed control.
