I understand, thanks for the hint, will do so.

I'm encountering an issue with the ITE IT87 Driver. Upon installation, the sensors are correctly recognized, and I can monitor the fan speeds without any trouble. I'm utilizing two PWM fans, specifically the be quiet! Silent Wings 4 PWM models in both 120mm and 140mm sizes. My Gigabyte B760M GAMING X DDR4 motherboard provides three 4-pin connectors for system fans. I've connected one fan to sys_fan_1 and the other to sys_fan_2. However, after running pwmconfig and initiating fancontrol, the fan connected to sys_fan_1 intermittently ceases spinning, contrary to the configured settings. Occasionally, it only performs some small movements. I found a difference between the file content of pwm2_freq and pwm3_freq. The first one contains 187500 and the second one 23437. After setting pwm2_freq to 23437 manually, the fan starts spinning again. All seems well, but unfortunately, the change is eventually overridden, causing the fan to stop spinning once more. Could it be an issue with the driver? pwm2 seems to be affected only. Any ideas how I could fix it permanently? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks a lot.

@MPC561, thanks a lot. Your post saved me from returning my hardware I bought recently: Intel i5-12400 GIGABYTE B760M GAMING X DDR4 Kingston FURY DIMM 32 GB DDR4-3200 (2x16GB) be quiet! Pure Power 12M 550W This mainboard has the Realtek r8125 NIC. I did some power measurements with Unraid 6.12.8 and applied the hints from the Powertop thread. In the end, the power consumption didn't go below 13W at idle (measured with FRITZ!DECT 200). The pkg c-states were stuck at C3. I also had the RTL 8125 (B) PCI Drivers package installed. setpci -s 00:1c.0 0x50.B=0x42 setpci -s 00:1c.2 0x50.B=0x42 setpci -s 02:00.0 0x80.B=0x42 After executing these commands, nothing changed, still 13W idle power consumption and c-states were stuck at C3. Then, I uninstalled the RTL 8125 (B) PCI Drivers package and executed the commands from above again, et voilà 7.5W at idle. The c-states reached C10. Did I do something wrong while the RTL 8125 (B) PCI Drivers package was installed and the setpci commands had no effect? Are there any disadvantages in not using the dedicated RTL 8125 (B) PCI Drivers package? The background of these questions is that I want to evaluate if I should keep the mainboard or look for something else with Intel NIC.
