Generate Fan RPM Signal W/O Fan

So the blue line is basically sitting at 0, at least when the multimeter is sampling it. And 6V on the red line is about half what I would expect. There's something sort of unusual going on here.

On bootup - Pin 1 initially reads 12V, then scales back to 6V. It's like it whirs up the Fan to Full speed for an initial test, then scales it back.

That's actually normal--many fans won't start at 6V, but if they're already spinning, they'll happily keep spinning on 6V.
