+## Controlling fans
+
+With vendor firmware, the P5Q uses the ATK0110 ACPI device to control its fans
+according to the parameters configured in the BIOS setup menu. With coreboot,
+one can instead control the Super I/O directly as described in the
+[kernel docs]:
+
++ pwm1 controls fan1 (CHA_FAN1) and fan4 (CHA_FAN2)
++ pwm2 controls fan2 (CPU_FAN)
++ fan3 (PWR_FAN) cannot be controlled
++ temp1 (board) can be used to control fan1 and fan4
++ temp2 (CPU) can be used to control fan2
+
+### Manual fan speed
+
+These commands set the chassis fans to a constant speed:
+
+ # Use PWM output
+ echo 1 >/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/pwm1_mode
+ # Set to manual mode
+ echo 1 >/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/pwm1_enable
+ # Set relative speed: 0 (stop) to 255 (full)
+ echo 150 >/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/pwm1
+
+### Automatic fan speed
+
+The W83667HG can adjust fan speeds when things get too warm. These settings will
+control the chassis fans:
+
+ # Set to "Thermal Cruise" mode
+ echo 2 >/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/pwm1_enable
+ # Target temperature: 60°C
+ echo 60000 >/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/pwm1_target
+ # Minimum fan speed when spinning up
+ echo 135 >/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/pwm1_start_output
+ # Minimum fan speed when spinning down
+ echo 135 >/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/pwm1_stop_output
+ # Tolerance: 2°C
+ echo 2000 >/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/pwm1_tolerance
+ # Turn fans off after 600 seconds when below defined range
+ echo 600000 >/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/pwm1_stop_time
+
+You can also control the CPU fan with similar rules:
+
+ # Switch to "Thermal Cruise" mode
+ echo 2 >/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/pwm2_enable
+ # Target temperature: 55°C
+ echo 55000 >/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/pwm2_target
+ # Minimum fan speed when spinning down
+ echo 50 >/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/pwm2_stop_output
+ # Rate of fan speed change
+ echo 50 >/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/pwm2_step_output
+ # Maximum fan speed
+ echo 200 >/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/pwm2_max_output
+ # Tolerance: 2°C
+ echo 2000 >/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/pwm1_tolerance
