Not entirely. If I rename w83627hf.ko to something else and reboot, the fans stop. Then I rename w83627hf.ko back to its original name and do modprobe (without stuff in modprobe.conf) and the fans stay still. I rmmod w83627hf and then try with the reset=1 parameter.

See my description, also without the w83627hf driver the fans stop.

Not that I am aware. I only enabled sensors drivers for historical reasons or for this new board. > What if you load w83627hf with init=0 (and not reset=1)? Will try that later. Udo
