I usually reads the docs thoroughly (yes I do ;-) but I had missed this one...

No. AFAIK, my board is capable of reporting the fans speeds, but doesn't have active control over them. That's probably why these BIOS defaults are "broken". My CPU fan is controlled via a manual potentiometer, and my box fans are under control of my power supply (Antec) that reports their speed to the MB thru a specific cable.
