..2nd try Hi David I am still researching on the fans on the asus board. One problem I came across: for fan5 the reading drops sharply from about 1325 rpm to zero when I lower the voltage. Note the fan is definitely moving still, the fan physicall can do much slower. fan5_div shows 4 and does not step up as with fan 1 and 4 where I can see _div on 128. fans 1,4 and 5 seem all to be controlled by pwm4 on this board. to my understanding fan5 should behave as the others and step up the divider when lowering the voltage, isn?t it?
