I see, I see. That's an impressive amount of digging you did. Thanks for that. Think I could wire pin 88 to ground and basically fix it?

Even if I do get it fully fixed, I think my project could be useful for motherboards that have thermal probes but no PWM.

Real talk though, I'd love to see this MSI board fully operational.

I think you could check if the pin is reliably connected to ground.

Did you buy this board already broken? Its also possible someone connecting Fans shorted 12V to Fintek FAN tacho input (two middle pins on 4 pin connector) frying all ADC inputs, in that case only replacement chip would work.

Honestly I have no idea what this board has been through before getting to me. It had the PWM/Temp/RPM issue from the moment I got it. Maybe someone did break the chip. I'm gonna look up that diagram and try to see if the pin is connected to ground
