Hello,
I've been trying to tame the deafening roar that comes from my CPU
fans.  My motherboard is a Supermicro X5DPA-TGM with dual Xeons.  The
X5DPA-TGM reportedly has the Winbond w83627hf chip.  Everything (the
sensors, etc...) seem to work fine.  When I try using pwmconfig to setup
fancontrol I get:

Testing pwm control 9191-0290/pwm1 ...
  9191-0290/fan1_input ... speed was 4655 now 4655
    no correlation
  9191-0290/fan2_input ... speed was 4787 now 4821
    no correlation

No correlations were detected.

When I try to manually change the values of pwm1 or pwm2 in /sys, I get
no results either.  I am running kernel 2.6.16 (Gentoo sources, r9).

Any suggestions on how to make fancontrol work for this chipset?

Thanks in advance,
Ben
