Is it automatic in the linux kernel or in the > motherboard, the bios code, or something else ? The NCT chip supports it, and it works pretty well on my system (with NCT6775F). It is enabled if pwmX_enable is set to 5 after you force-loaded the w83627ehf module. I am working on an enhanced version of the nct6775/nct6776 driver which will let you configure automatic fan control. It is on github, so you could give it a try if you like (https://github.com/groeck/nct6775).
