Hum, I change the value of files in /sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-0290 (like /sys/bus/i2c/devices/1-0290/fan2_pwm) but it does not made obvious changes on the fan speed reported. Is there a pointer to a useful doc about that? Apart from that, will the sensors reset the BIOS power down on extr?me heat? This would be quite concerning (despite the fact that I never manage to reach such temperatures under GNU/Linux)?
