Yeah, looks weird. Ijust ran sensors again and that line now says:
+12V:     +11.43 V  (min = +10.82 V, max = +13.19 V)


Sorry - posted before I was done!

Yes, the new case fan IS a 3 pin fan (speed controllable).

Things did NOT revert to normal when I removed the case fan and put things
back as they were before. (This is what has me really puzzled.)

The mother board only has 2 places where one could attach a 3 pin fan
connector. pwmconfig has always reported 3 devices, 2 inactive (when I only
had the CPU fan connected to the MB). I assumed that these two other 3 pin
connectors are for fans. I just took a look now at the Asus manual and that
connector is labeled CHA_FAN. (Chassis Fan)
