In the small window that it takes to read the temperature sensors, the pwm
outputs momentarily drop to 0.  This causes a noticeable hiccup in fan
speed, which is slightly annoying.  The solution is to manually program
the pwm output with whatever the automatic value is and then shift the
fans to manual control while reading temperatures.  Once that is done, put
the fans back to whatever mode of control was there before.
