Actual Changes in PWM Output

general response of the PWM output, it is also necessary to
note that the enhance acoustics registers (0x62 and 0x63)
can be used to set/clamp the maximum rate of change of
PWM output for a given temperature zone. This means that
if T
steep, a relatively small change in temperature could cause
a large change in PWM output and possibly an audible
change in fan speed, which can be noticeable/ bothersome
to end users.
programming the smoothing on the appropriate temperature
channels (Register 0x62 and Register 0x63) changes how
fast the fan speed increases/decreases in the event of a
temperature spike. The PWM duty cycle increases slowly
until the PWM duty cycle reaches the appropriate duty cycle
as defined by the AFC curve.
