OK... If you can change the values manually then it means that the w83627ehf driver is OK (as I expected) and the problem is with the pwmconfig script, or with bash. Same problem as ticket #2305: http://www.lm-sensors.org/ticket/2305 Which version of bash are you running? It would be great if you could try a different version, for example a self-built bash 2.05b, which is known to behave properly. No need to install it, just build it locally, and use it to run pwmconfig: /path/bash /path/pwmconfig > As I am completely new to linux, I am not sure now if I am running pwmconfig > correctly.

Indeed tuning the configuration file manually is easy. IMHO it's even easier than with pwmconfig once you know the syntax. > Thanks so much for your assistance with this!
