cool... kind of figured they were in order... :-)

i noticed that lm_sensors didn't pick up on fan3 which is labeled as cpu 
and has fan3_max at 3300... however if i echo 6000 out to fan3_min it 
spins up... so obviously i had to try them all and they all can go 
faster then their fanX_max... so it makes me wonder what the actual max 
speeds are of the fans or where we could find that information...

btw, great work.

cheers
paul
