The device reports 5 fan inputs and 3 pwm outputs, but the motherboard
only has 4 fan headers: 2 4 pin and 2 3 pin. From that I would expect
pwm1 and pwm2 to be routed to the two 4 pin fan headers ( first one is
cpu ), and the other two fan headers input to be connected to fan inputs
3 and 4, with no control.

Indeed, it is odd. If I set pwm1 to a value of zero, all but one of the
fans in the system stop. Specifically the cpu fan, the front case fan,
and the rear case fan stop, while the top case fan continues to spin. I
will need to open it back up to make sure, but my guess is that the top
fan is connected to the second 4 pin fan header on the motherboard, but
since the fan is only a 3 pin fan, it does not respond to the pwm output
that is likely connected to it from pwm2. The other two fan headers are
only 3 pin headers, but since they seem to respond to changes to pwm1, I
guess that the motherboard has on board FETs that respond to PWM1 to
regulate the voltage on these two headers so their speed corresponds to
the cpu fan speed.
> Would it be possible to run pwmconfig and let us know what it reports ?
It appears to agree with my assessment in that fan1 responds to pwm1.
