I am definitely agreeing with the idea that temp3 is the National
Semiconductor's internet temperature. I left my bios on for about half
an hour, and noticed that it reported the cpu temperature to be at 66
degrees celcius (which is definitely hotter than I expected). Doing
"sensors" still yielded the 53 - 56 degree range (varying within that
range), even though the bios was reporting a constant increase in
temperature.
Here are the isadump outputs:

Also, I did echo "50 -55 50" > temp3 to set the high and critical
temperatures. It reports a temperature of 54 C, but I didn't see an
alarm flag (I assumed there should be one). (ouput of sensors at the end
of text)
The fans seem to be working with pwmconfig a lot better, though still
some quirks exist. It can be run (shutting off the fans) and there are
no longer overflow flags and the readings remain accurate (no longer
changing to -1).
Here is the pwmconfig output (the main strangeness is in the testing of
pwm3, to which I still have not attached a fan):
Found the following PWM controls:

I have not played with fanconfig yet, but I will do so once I am sure I
have a cpu temperature monitor.
However, I did do some pwm changes by echoing values to the pwm files in
the proc entry. The fans did successfully change speed (I opened the
case to see them slow down), but there was no change in speed reported
in "sensors". I got overflow flags after echoing a value below a certain
point.
For example:
echo 200 > pwm2 gives me in sensors
fan2: 2181 RPM (min = 2000 RPM, div = 2) OVERFLOW
which won't go away until I echo at least 228 and run the "sensors"
command at least twice.
Hmm, this problem also exists with echoing values lower than 228 to
pwm1. This time, I echo a value above or equal to 228 and I have to run
sensors three times before the flag goes away.
I am guess this has to do with the the drivers need to refresh itself
(note: in dmesg I get a lot of "pc87360.o: Data update" messages).
The flags for the fans get updated (both the overflow and alert flags)
only after running "sensors" a few times.

*brief summary of what I did to get that status:
for fan1, echoed 3800 as min, then 3000 as min, but flag goes away after
doing sensors twice
for fan2, echoed 200 for pwm2, then 255 for pwm2, and flag goes away
after doing sensors twice

One question: there is an enormous difference (by sound of fans) going
from pwm 255 to 220 (or even 230 to 220), and going from 220 to anything
lower is sometimes not even noticeable. Is this because there is an
exponential relation between pwm and rpm?
Thanks
