Set up the fan related lines in the two sensors3.conf blocks like this:

chip "w83782d-*"
    label   fan1 "Ch Fan 1"
    label   fan2 "Ch Fan 2"
    label   fan3 "Ch Fan 3"
    set fan1_div 4
    set fan2_div 4
    set fan3_div 4
    set fan1_min 3000
    set fan2_min 3000
    set fan3_min 3000
chip "w83627hf-*"
    label   fan1 "CPU1 Fan"
    label   fan2 "CPU0 Fan"
    ignore  fan3 
    compute fan1 2*@,@/2
    compute fan2 2*@,@/2
    set fan1_div 4
    set fan2_div 4
    set fan1_min 3000
    set fan2_min 3000

% sensors -s
% sensors | grep RPM
CPU1 Fan:      0 RPM  (min = 3000 RPM, div = 4)  ALARM
CPU0 Fan:   6552 RPM  (min = 3000 RPM, div = 4)
Ch Fan 1:      0 RPM  (min = 2986 RPM, div = 4)  ALARM
Ch Fan 2:   4500 RPM  (min = 2986 RPM, div = 4)
Ch Fan 3:   4383 RPM  (min = 2986 RPM, div = 4)

which is fine.

Tried different dividers (2,4,8,16) and the values moved around a
little, but these were always within a few percent of 3000, so
arbitrarily used a divisor of 4 everywhere.

Thanks for your help,
