Curt, David, Jean, hi, (again)

The schematics are in your personal boxes. I will not post them to the list.

The chip is indeed a W83627DHG, instead of the W83627EHF. It's a good catch
that you got it working. But, after reviewing the schematics, of which the
W83267EHF is public via:
http://www.winbond-usa.com/products/winbond_products/pdfs/PCIC/W83627EHF_EHG
c.pdf

1 - The W83627DHG features are at some parts very different from the
W83627EHF: It has Intel PECI/SST interface support (why would they use that
on an AMD mainboard?), Dual-current mode temperature sensing, 4-pin FAN
support, alerting outputs and also a 8 VID I/O. 

2 - Derriving from (1) the pin-out purposes are very different in this case.
E.g. pin 119 (CPUFAN) which was used as a CPU-fan connection, the 'new pin'
used for that function is pin 121 and rated at 'Default High' (probably only
at boot time)

3 - From the (internal) BIOS notes I can tell you that the instruction set
in the bios for W627EHF and W627DHG is almost similar, except for the 4-pin
FAN feature. The rest of the instruction set is based on SMARTFAN III code.

Lastly, on a side note, I have to say that I'm not 100% sure what impact
this has on the suggested 'changes' between 627EHF and 627DHG driver. I'll
leave that up to someone else to determine. (David / Jean?)

Kind regards,

Jan van Tiggelen
