We should not say "based on" without evidence (that is, someone from
Nuvoton confirming
that this is the case), and "both quite different to nct6796d" is just
confusing.
nct6799d is _expected_ to be different to nct6796d. This should say
something like
"nct6796d-s is similar to nct6799d-r with minor differences which do not
affect the
driver".
It was Nuvoton support that told me that NCT6799D-R was a customer-
specific chip, but "very similar" to 6796d-S.
The point here was to specify the relevant chip ids and to say that the
driver treats both the same way, so I can rephrase it to say "driver
treats both the same way" maybe?
However, I'm somewhat sure the temperature sources on 6799d-R use one of
the reserved values when setup through the bios.
Apparently there are also NCT6796D-E (Nuvoton's web site) and NCT6796D-R
(LibreHardwareMonitor). Do you know anything about those chips ? Based
on the
chip ID, NCT6796-R seems to be a variant of NCT6798D with chip ID 0xd42a.
Do you know which board had the NCT6796-R, it seems the R suffix is
"customer-specific"?
Any chance you can share the datasheet for NCT6796D-S ?
Of course:
https://khalifa.ws/randomfiles/nuvoton/NCT6796D-S_Datasheet_V0_6.pdf
+ "NCT6799D-R/NCT6796D-S",
Alphabetic order, please ("NCT6796D-S/NCT6799D-R").
Will update.
