It was just the PSU fan on a Pundit AB-P 2600 system.   The PSU is a 
Hipro 200W unit.  The 80x20mm fan has only two leads, so I don't think 
it has any sort of monitoring capabilities.  I tried lm_sensors at some 
point, but upon loading the module, the CPU fan goes to high speed 
(negating any benefit of Q-fan).   So I scrapped that idea.   I'm not 
sure if any PSU temperature info would have been available to lm_sensors 
in the first place, though.


CPU fan is fine.   I've currently got a full size PSU hooked up to it. 
Everything works fine.   It just looks ugly now, 'cause the PSU is 
outside of the case!   :)
