I think it says to gets sensors(1) working first. Although I'm not sure the instructions on the page it links to are up to date. > The results of that are: > /usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed > pet...@peterm-desktop:~$ Part of gettings sensors(1) working is to load kernel modules. Perhaps it would help. Have you tried sudo sensors-detect That may come up with some modules that it suggests from /etc/modules at the end. Try loading each of them in turn. So if it say `foo' and `bar' do sudo modprobe foo sudo modprobe bar If there's no errors, see if the output of `sensors' has now improved compared to before the sensors-detect. Then try pwmconfig again. > So I guess I'll have to put up with the noise, or get out the > wirecutters. I found snipping off the metal grill covering my case fan lessened some of the noise. The one that stops fingers getting to it.
