For those of you with the MSI Master2 FAR Motherboard and have the Winbond W83627THF and use the w83627hf module for temp, fan, voltage, etc monitoring and would like to know how to use the BIOS fan speed control without it being turned off by loading the i2c module there is a solution.

First if you autoload your i2c modules from /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 remove them from there and add them like so to your /etc/conf.d/lm_sensors file:
MODULE_0=i2c-isa
MODULE_1=w83627hf

Now change the w83627hf line and pass init=0 through it...

MODULE_0=i2c-isa
MODULE_1="w83627hf init=0"

Supposedly when you load the module without the init=0 the BIOS settings are thrown out and the module uses the ones set in the Linux environment. Passing init=0 to it tells it not to do this.

Found this answer on the MSI forums and had to adjust it to work with Gentoo, the URL of the topic is http://forum.msi.com.tw/thread.php?threadid=52661
