Is it actually working ?

If the SMU thinks there is no fan control done by the OS, it will ramp
them up ... but bring them back down when it gets ping.

So if for some reason the control loop isn't starting (because it can't
find something it wants on this machine), the fans will stay up, but
you'll cause such a "ping" when reading the CPU temp.

That may be bogus, just thinking what it could be...
