The W83697HF has only two fans inputs. Three possibilities:

1* You don't really have a W83697HF, but some similar chip (w83627hf,
w83627thf...) with three fan inputs.

2* You really have a W83697HF, and the third fan cannot be monitored.

3* You really have a W83697HF, and there's a secondary chip for
monitoring the third fan. The sensors-detect script should tell you.

The manual of your motherboad could help choosing between these
possibilities. Or you could provide the output of sensors-detect (after
unloading *all* i2c chip drivers; when asked for undetectable adapters,
say no). Using the CVS version of the script would be better:
http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/cvs/lm_sensors2/prog/detect/sensors-detect
since we've improved it much since 2.7.0 was released.

Please avoid that next time.
