I'll take a look. I'm pushing out some patches for the kernel driver
right now, so if you can hang on to that patch for a few days, I'll
review it.

Yes, it's automatic. Take a look at
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/hwmon/w83627ehf:
pwm[1-4]_enable - this file controls mode of fan/temperature control:
* 1 Manual Mode, write to pwm file any value 0-255 (full speed)
* 2 Thermal Cruise
There are two more modes (RPM cruise and SmartFan III) which are not
supported by the driver yet. That's mainly because 2 (Thermal Cruise)
works so well, I've focused on other things.
Thanks,
David
