Step 2: Configuring the Mux
the fans can be assigned to particular temperature channels.
Not only can fans be assigned to individual channels, but the
behavior of the fans is also configurable. For example, fans
can be run under automatic fan control, manually (under
software control), or at the fastest speed calculated by
multiple temperature channels. The mux is the bridge
between temperature measurement channels and the three
PWM outputs.
Register 0x5E (PWM configuration registers) control the
behavior of the fans connected to the PWM1, PWM2, and
PWM3 outputs. The values selected for these bits determine
how the mux connects a temperature measurement channel
to a PWM output.
Automatic Fan Control Mux Options
Bits [7:5] (BHVR), Register 0x5C, Register 0x5D, Register
0x5E.
After the system hardware configuration is determined,

one PWM output based on multiple temperature channels.
The thermal characteristics of the three temperature zones
can be set to drive a single fan. An example is the fan turning
on when Remote 1 temperature exceeds 60°C, or if the local
temperature exceeds 45°C.
Other Mux Options

this mode, PWM duty cycle registers (Register 0x30 to
Register 0x32) are writable and control the PWM outputs.
The fastest speed calculated options pertain to controlling
