David,

that is really a question to ask the board vendor. NCT6776F actually has several
automatic modes - thermal cruise mode, fan speed cruise mode, and SmartFan IV mode.
In SmartFan IV mode, one can also enable an additional "weight" mode, in which
fan speed is controlled by two temperatures. This is configured on my Intel board
and works quite well. That mode can be configured with the various "weight" attributes
in the latest version of the nct6775 driver.
