Intel DQ965GF Mainboard Sensor Support about open-hardware-monitor

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The board seems to use a Winbond PC8374L, which the Open Hardware Monitor does 
not
support currently.

Some information about the chip is available in the lm-sensors mailing list.

http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2007-March/019127.html

A datasheet can be found here 

http://www.winbond-usa.com/products/winbond_products/pdfs/APC/PC8374L.pdf

It does not have any direct temperature sensors, so usefulness might be 
limited. I am
not sure how much effort is required to implement support for the PC8374L. There
might be also conflicts with other software accessing the chip.

The Intel DG45FC mainboard seems to use the same chip.

I have a DG965MQ motherboard which uses the Intel HECI/MEI/QST system (they 
keep changing the name). I believe most of the Intel motherboards around that 
generation used the same system. I've got an experimental build of Open 
Hardware Monitor that uses the QST SDK working on my system. I'll try to get 
the code hosted somewhere if I get some spare time this week.

I've attached the experimental patches. There's two parts: one is a patch for 
OpenHardwareMonitor and the other is a project to create an optional fan 
controller DLL since the Intel QST SDK doesn't expose that functionality in the 
public API. You'll also need to get the Intel QST SDK (I've got a copy 
available at https://github.com/gigaplex/Intel_QST_SDK) and include the 
QstComm.dll and QstInst.dll modules in the same directory as 
OpenHardwareMonitor.
