- How to change fan divisors:
Method 1: "echo x y z > /proc/sys/dev/sensors/...../fan_div"
where 'x y z' are the fan divisors for the three fans and '...'
is the sensor in question.
Method 2: Put an entry "set fanx_div y" in the appropriate section
of /etc/sensors.conf and rerun 'sensors -s'.
(x is the number of the fan 1-3 and y is the divisor).
