One sad thing with fans in PC is how bad is fan controller / SuperIO driver support in Linux. AFAIK, there is no autodetection for SuperIO chips (like there is for PCI or USB devices) and for many chips there are no drivers anyways.

Seems like using USB connected microcontroller with open-source firmware instead of embedded SuperIO seems like easiest way to have reliable fan control in PC.
