Does the vendor advertise any form of fan speed (or noise) control on this board? In the manual or in the BIOS? The PWM outputs of your chip may simply not be wired on your board. It's not listed in SpeedFan's database as being fan-control-capable: http://www.almico.com/forummotherboards.php?man=269 So unless you have a good reason to believe that fan control should work on your board, I am inclined to believe this is a hardware limitation and not a driver bug. > **************** trying manual control ************ > linux-md9k:/sys/class/hwmon # cat hwmon2/device/pwm3_enable > 1 > linux-md9k:/sys/class/hwmon # cat hwmon2/device/pwm3 > 255 > linux-md9k:/sys/class/hwmon # echo 140 > hwmon2/device/pwm3 > linux-md9k:/sys/class/hwmon # echo 0 > hwmon2/device/pwm3 > linux-md9k:/sys/class/hwmon # cat hwmon2/device/pwm3 > 0 > ********************************************************* Have you tried pwm1 and pwm2? On many boards, only one fan can be controlled, so only one PWM output is working. You should try our "pwmconfig" script to automatically test all PWM outputs. -- Jean Delvare http://khali.linux-fr.org/wishlist.html _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
