Unfortunately, this could be an indication that PWM is not wired on this
board. the two Gigabyte boards using the it87 driver I have access to
and that have their PWM lines wired do have the option in BIOS.

Please make sure ;) If the motherboard is actually silent under Windows,
please try to find out what the difference can be. Maybe you are using a
specific tool under Windows? If your CPU supports some form of power
saving or throttling, maybe it is enabled under Windows but not under
Linux (which could result in a faster fan speed if your fan is
themoregulated).

I can't tell, all motherboards are different. For the temperatures, you
would most likely simply do:

   ignore temp2
   label temp3 "CPU Temp"
