How would it know ? That is why the configuration file supports the "ignore"
statement. Also, why is it strange ? There is no requirement that a board vendor
MUST connect sensors in a certain order.

That really depends on your CPU. Yo could try to compare it with the output
of the core temperature sensor if your CPU supports one.

Setting a value to 1 should enable manual control. 2 is automatic, 0 turns it
off entirely. CPU fans can not be turned off, so if one fan is the CPU fan
it would not be surprising that it can not be turned off.
