I would like to change the fan speeds on my PC. In the Asus BIOS settings, this is possible with PWM and DC (three of them are connected with 4 pins), but the running operating system seems to have problems doing the same.
The two I want to change manually have the names CHA_1FAN and CHA_2FAN on the motherboard.
> cat /etc/sensors3.conf | grep -i fan
# Fans
label fan1 "PSU Fan"
label fan2 "CPU Fan"
label fan3 "System FAN2"
label fan4 "System FAN3"
label fan5 "System FAN4"
# Fans
label fan1 "CPU Fan"
label fan2 "System FAN2"
label fan3 "System FAN3"
label fan4 "System FAN4"
label fan7 "PSU Fan"

The system is OpenSuse Leap 15.5 and lm-sensor does not seem to be installed. I tried downloading it from source and compile it, which worked but there is still nothing with this name on my disk.
