The W83795ADG can be programmed to switch fans to full speed when certain temperature limits are exceeded. The driver doesn't currently expose these settings, but my guess is that's what you're seeing. According to the datasheet, the default value for temperature limit registers for this mechanism is 0x50, that is... 80°C. -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
