[PATCH] hwmon: (w83781d) Additional information about AS99127F PWM

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This information was provided in lm-sensors ticket #2350:
http://www.lm-sensors.org/ticket/2350

This is IMHO still not enough to be able to safely implement fan
control support for the AS99127F, but this is valuable information so
I am adding it to the documentation.

 My mobo is an ASUS A7V266-E. This behavior is similar to what I got
 with speedfan under Windows, where 0-15% would be off, 15-2x% (can't
 remember the exact value) would be 70% and higher would be full on.

+I conducted some experiment on Asus P3B-F motherboard with AS99127F
+(Ver. 1).
+
+I confirm that 0x59 register control the CPU_Fan Header on this
+motherboard, and 0x5a register control PWR_Fan.
+
+In order to reduce the dependency of specific fan, the measurement is
+conducted with a digital scope without fan connected. I found out that
+P3B-F actually output variable DC voltage on fan header center pin,
+looks like PWM is filtered on this motherboard.
