Yep, but it seems that's what the BIOS does.
I verified with superiotool (I added W83627EHG support, patch pending).

Ah, yes, CR 0xF0 (page 102 in the datasheet) looks like the register I
need. I'll try that.

However, the BIOS indeed sets the clock speed to 24MHz (CR 0x24, bit 6
was set to zero when I checked).

How do I find out the correct one? i2cdetect/i2cdump?
