Note that many motherboards do not have pwm circuitry installed, even if your sensor chip supports pwm. We will attempt to briefly stop each fan using the pwm controls. The program will attempt to restore each fan to full speed after testing. However, it is ** very important ** that you physically verify that the fans have been to full speed after the program has completed. Found the following devices: hwmon0 is acpitz hwmon1/device is k8temp hwmon2/device is f71862fg Found the following PWM controls: hwmon2/device/pwm1 hwmon2/device/pwm1 is currently setup for automatic speed control. In general, automatic mode is preferred over manual mode, as it is more efficient and it reacts faster. Are you sure that you want to setup this output for manual control? (n) hwmon2/device/pwm2 hwmon2/device/pwm2 is currently setup for automatic speed control. In general, automatic mode is preferred over manual mode, as it is more efficient and it reacts faster. Are you sure that you want to setup this output for manual control? (n) hwmon2/device/pwm3 hwmon2/device/pwm3 is currently setup for automatic speed control. In general, automatic mode is preferred over manual mode, as it is more efficient and it reacts faster. Are you sure that you want to setup this output for manual control? (n) There are no usable PWM outputs. >> nelis at nelis-desktop:~$ grep -H . /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon*/device/pwm* >> /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/device/pwm1:81 >> /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/device/pwm1_auto_channels_temp:1 >> /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/device/pwm1_auto_point1_pwm:90 >> /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/device/pwm1_auto_point1_temp:60000 >> /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/device/pwm1_auto_point1_temp_hyst:56000 >> /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/device/pwm1_auto_point2_pwm:80 >> /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/device/pwm1_auto_point2_temp:35000 >> /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/device/pwm1_auto_point2_temp_hyst:31000 >> /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/device/pwm1_enable:2 >> /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/device/pwm1_interpolate:1 >> /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/device/pwm2:255 >> /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/device/pwm2_auto_channels_temp:2 >> /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/device/pwm2_auto_point1_pwm:217 >> /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/device/pwm2_auto_point1_temp:60000 >> /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/device/pwm2_auto_point1_temp_hyst:56000 >> /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/device/pwm2_auto_point2_pwm:128 >> /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/device/pwm2_auto_point2_temp:30000 >> /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/device/pwm2_auto_point2_temp_hyst:26000 >> /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/device/pwm2_enable:2 >> /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/device/pwm2_interpolate:1 >> /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/device/pwm3:155 >> /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/device/pwm3_auto_channels_temp:4 >> /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/device/pwm3_auto_point1_pwm:217 >> /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/device/pwm3_auto_point1_temp:60000 >> /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/device/pwm3_auto_point1_temp_hyst:58000 >> /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/device/pwm3_auto_point2_pwm:128 >> /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/device/pwm3_auto_point2_temp:30000 >> /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/device/pwm3_auto_point2_temp_hyst:28000 >> /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/device/pwm3_enable:2 >> /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/device/pwm3_interpolate:1 >> > > Note that all 3 fan controllers are in automatic mode (pwm#_enable > > 1), which is less CPU-intensive than manual mode and usually gives > better results.

But can't change that either. nelis at nelis-desktop:/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/device$ sudo echo "3" > pwm1_auto_channels_temp -bash: pwm1_auto_channels_temp: Permission denied
