That is actually the default (BIOS supplied) setting for your
w83627dhg. Therefore, all you need to do is never load the w83627ehf
module. Or, if you do load the module, use sensors to read the values
but do not run pwmconfig. I suppose pwmconfig sort of assumes you know
about the modes on your chip and therefore, you're running the script
to configure it in depth, manually, etc.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback! I'll work on that patch at some point....

Cheers,
David
