Summary0000020: Fan divisor problem with A7N8X-E Deluxe / Asus ASB100
DescriptionWith the A7N8X-E Deluxe board, the Asus ASB100 / Fan1 / nForce2 SMBus / $2D fan divisor needs to be 4, but is stuck on 2.
Steps To Reproduce1) Use A7N8X-E Deluxe board (perhaps others that use the Asus ASB100; I don't know).

2) Note that SpeedFan 4.13 displays the CPU fan speed (i.e. the fan plugged into the CPU_FAN1 header) at twice the actual value.

3) Go into Advanced options, and select "Asus ASB100 at $2D on nForce2 SMBus" from the drop-down menu.

4) Change the Fan1 divisor to 4, have the setting remembered, and click OK.

5) Note that the CPU speed shown has not changed.

This is extremely interesting. Nobody ever told me that fan divisors were stuck on 2. This helps me. I hope to be able to fix this issue.

just checked, the fan divisors are remembered in the UI but they're not effective in the calculations.

ran into more "results" while playing with my cooling setup.
I started motherboard monitor, adjusted the "fan type" (not the divisors) and then quit. then I started speedfan, now it reads/calculates the fan speeds correctly. (probably until next restart :) )

I have the same problem:

ASUS A7N8X-E DELUXE board.
Fan1 (CPU fan) reports twice the speed; Fan3 (PSU fan) also does.

Tried to change the fan divisors (2 by default) on advanced options "Asus ASB100 at $2D on nForce2 SMBus": using 4 as divisor readings remain the same; using 1 readings are 0 RPMs.

Also tried to change the fan divisors on "Winbond W83791D at $2F on nForce2 SMBus": they can't be modified.

DISQ: cold you send me a SEND REPORT before using MBM5, then use MBM5 to change FAN TYPES (which are the available options?) and then send me a final SEND REPORT again?
Please, drop me an email to let me know you just did it.

As you asked to DISQ:

-I open SpeedFan; it reports fan speed twice it should be.
-First report sent.
-I open MBM5; it reports fan speed as it should be (~4000rpm).
    CPU fan (FAN1) configuration:
    fan types available: *2, /1, /2 (current), /3, /4... /10
    divisors available: 1, 2, 4 (current), 8, 16... 128
-I select "2" divisor on MBM5 and apply. Neither MBM5 or SpeedFan readings change, but SpeedFan now reports 2 as FAN1 divisor.
-"4" divisor again: No change (just the divisor).
-"8" divisor: No change (just the divisor).
-I go back to 4 divisor, and switch to "/4" fan type: No change on SpeedFan (~8000rpm), MBM5 now reports half speed (0000617:0002000 rpm).
-"/1" fan type: SpeedFan still reports about 8000rpm, now MBM5 also does.
-I finally set "8" divisor and "/2" fan type and send the second report.
-End.

Conclusions:
    Divisor changes don't work.
    MBM5 reports it ok thanks to "fan type" (witch divides it manually).

From MBM5 help:
"Fan Type

Some Fans will show a too high RPM or a to low RPM as the pulses they send per second don't match what the sensor chip expects.

There are 11 settings, /1 to /10 which divide the readings by that amount and *2 which muliplies the reading by 2. Default setting for 99% of all boards will be /1"

My CPU fan is a TITAN D5TB CU35/SC (http://www.titan-cd.com/english/product.asp?model_no=TTC-D5TB/G/CU35/SC).

I've just added support for manual multipliers and divisors for each fan. This will fully fix your issue with A7N8X. There are 10 (from 1 to 10) available multipliers and 10 (from 1 to 10) available divisors. This way you can use, say, 3/7 or 1/2 or 9/5 :-)

The fix will be in version 4.18.
