Hi, I have an Asus A8V Deluxe motherboard with Cool 'n' Quiet. Both the cool and the quiet bit were working fine until recently. I had installed lm-sensors, run pwmconfig etc (as per http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper). Sensors would report that the CPU fan was off most of the time and the machine was pretty quiet. Both of the (2) case fans were connected to the power supply and not effected or controled by pwmconfig. Last weekend I bought a new (3 pin) case fan and attached it to the motherboard connector. A while after I restarted I noticed that the CPU fan was no longer spinning down. sensors reports that is is spinning slower than full speed (could be, I can't be sure) but it doesn't shut off. Sometimes sensors says that the CPU fan is off, but it never is. I reasoned that maybe the fancontrol or pwm or sensors.conf or something related had to be reconfigured so I set everything up from start again. The problem is that pwmconfig no longer sets things up. It doesn't spin down the CPU fan (nor the case fan) and doesn't seem to see it. I shut down, disconnected the new fan from the motherboard, put everythign back as it was and restarted. But it STILL can't see or spin down the CPU fan. I am getting very frustrated. I have shutdown and restarted multiple times, and tried adjusting different settings (div number on the fan for example) and nothing has any effect. Any advice?
