I can try to compare the montoring results with the userspace driver included in SuperODoctor II. The first version of the driver (before your patches) had inconsistentices. I will have to read the chip's datasheet to check if my hardware setup will let me help test PWM control. The C7X58/S8SAX BIOS is supposed to put the chip in some sort of closed-loop fan control mode if you tell it to, but there are issues when mixing 3-pin and 4-pin fans in the same system (or at least SuperMicro cautions agains such a setup. It might be just a lazy BIOS, or it might be a chip restriction)... and I have a mix of 3-pin and 4-pin fans. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
