It looks like you have all of the pwmN_enable set to manual mode (1), and have turned off the corresponding pwmN outputs.

Does it have additional fan headers? Can you connect the CPU fan to another header and see if one of the additional headers is successfully controlled by one of the pwm[1-4] outputs? I'm not suggesting this as a permanent solution, but it would answer the question mentioned in the fancontrol script: Does your motherboard have the circuitry needed to drive PWM fans? Another possibility is that the fan is controlled by the intel chipset. The PWM outputs from the W83627DHG-B may not be wired up. The only way to verify this is to contact Intel. However, they provide fairly good support for open source software. There may be a specific contact person we can identify. Please determine if there are any other PWM fan plugs on the motherboard first. Then let's look at contacting Intel. Other LM-Sensors developers might also have a better idea. David
