Actual voltage depends on the scaling resistors on the

motherboard, as recommended in the chip datasheet.
|

This varies by chip and by motherboard.
|
||||
Because of this variation, values are generally NOT scaled
|

by the chip driver, and must be done by the application.
|

However, some drivers (notably lm87 and via686a)

do scale, with various degrees of success.
