-The fan speed control features are limited to manual PWM mode. Automatic
-"Smart Guardian" mode control handling is not implemented. However
-if you want to go for "manual mode" just write 1 to pwmN_enable.
+There are two different fan speed control modes. For the first, manual
+PWM mode, write 1 to pwmN_enable and the PWM value to pwmN. For automatic
+"Smart Guardian" mode write 2 to pwmN_enable. The PWM start value for this
+mode goes in pwmN_start, the temperature input to use in pwmN_temp_input,
+the temperature when the fan is started in pwmN_limit_start. The fan gets
+disabled if the temperature in pwmN_limit_off is reached. Between the
+temperatures in pwmN_limit_start and pwmN_limit_full, the fan speed is 
+linear increased by pwmN_step. pwmN_step ranges from 0 to 7, which means 
+0,1,2,4,8,16,32 or 64 PWM increments per temperature increase. 
+This means pwmN = pwmN_start + temp[pwmN_temp_input]_input * pwmN_step
+between pwmN_limit_start and pwmN_limit_full.
