146If you are only able to control the fan speed with very small PWM values,
147try lowering the PWM base frequency (pwm1_freq). Depending on the fan,
148it may give you a somewhat greater control range. The same frequency is
149used to drive all fan outputs, which is why pwm2_freq and pwm3_freq are
150read-only.
