Hi David more investigations: On this board, fan1, fan4 and fan5 (named CHA_FAN1, CHA_FAN3, CHA_FAN2 externally) are synchroneously controlled by pwm4. (I have not checked CHA_FAN4 and 5) since I could not finde a corresponding fan read out. Maybe they are not monitored at all) I succeded to establish a control loop by setting _enable=2, _target=38000,_mode=1, _min_output=95. Now I can observe when loading the cpu with "while true ; do a=1; done" ,after some while the Fans do really speed up. Interesting enough, the circuit seems to react on the CPU temperature, not on the SYS-temperature. I am still working on fan2 and 3. Monitoring fan speed works. I expected them to be controlled by one of the other 3 pwm?s but I am still not able to control them. Fan3 ist connected to "PWR-FAN" which seems to be non-controllable at all. The BIOS does not offer any choice either. Only fan speed is supervised. Fan2 seems to be connected to "CPU-FAN", the 4-pin connector. Here I am still experimenting. The main problem is that the CPU cooler I do use now has only 3 pins. If I connect any 3 pin fan to these 4 pins, the fan just turns at high speed - no control. Is there any adapter for such purposes? On the fans measurements: I do have fans that are able to operate lower than 600 rpm. But when I turn down power below "95" and the fan reading is below 620 rpm, the measurement becomes erroneous - it jumps up to values like 10.546 rpm even at a _div=128. This might be area of improvement in the driver? Best regards Christian Am Donnerstag, 2.
