So my "hwmon0" is correct and "hwmon1" needs conversion, right?

Ok, good to know.

It is in manual mode after boot... (but I think there's some fan
control going on, weird; I may be imagining it, was not able to
trigger it on purpose).

root@amd:/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device# cat pwm2_enable
1
root@amd:/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device# cat pwm2
80
root@amd:/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device# echo 0 > pwm2
root@amd:/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device# cat pwm2
80
root@amd:/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device#

I even tried to set it to 1, but no luck:

root@amd:/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device# echo 1 > pwm2_enable
root@amd:/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device# echo 0 > pwm2
root@amd:/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device# cat pwm2
80
root@amd:/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device# echo 2 > pwm2
root@amd:/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device# cat pwm2
80
root@amd:/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device#

...and set it there and back:

root@amd:/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device# echo 2 > pwm2_enable
root@amd:/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device# echo 1 > pwm2_enable
root@amd:/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device# cat pwm2
80
root@amd:/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device# echo 40 > pwm2
root@amd:/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device# cat pwm2
80
root@amd:/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device#

Any other ideas?

Thanks,
								Pavel
