Essentially, this means that the board must have another means to monitor and/or control the other fans. One question is if the CHA_FAN3 speed is shown in the BIOS if you connect a fan to it. If so, I suspect that CHA_FAN2, CHA_FAN3 and the power fan are controlled by the second chip (or maybe CHA_FAN[1-3], since those can only be configured in the BIOS for either manual mode or "full on"). I don't find any information on the web suggesting how the three "missing" fans are controlled. Without that information, I don't think there is anything we can do.
