Read winbond chipset

[StefanJ]

I'm a guy from sweden, with not so good programming knowledge.<br>Well anyway, I'm programming in Visual Basic and I have built an<br>RelayBox which communicates with my pc through the com-port. The relays<br>are connected to some fans (extra cooling) and a peltier eliment, and<br>with some programming knowledge I was able to do a program which let me<br>turn the relays on and off. So now to my problem... In this way I can ony control the cooling system manually, but I would like to controll them automatically, and to my help I have a MSI-6163 Pro mainbord with the winbond 83782D Chipset. The big problem is that I've never done anything like this, and I don't have a single clue how to read the data about, the rpm, voltages and temperatures. So my question to all you is, can you pleaseee help me or do you know anyone who can help me.... I'm in a desperate need of help....<br><br>//<br>Best Regards<br>Stefan Johansson<br><A HREF="mailto:stefan-j@telia.com">stefan-j@telia.com</A><br>Varnamo, Sweden

I assume you are using the above Computer Motherboard and want to somehow read 3 parameters you mentioned. (rpm, voltages and temperatures)<br>This is called data acquisition and I have uesd a product by Keithley Metrabyte to do this.<br><br><A HREF="
