If you would like to see it, or a portion please let me know. > Hi, Unfortunately you don't tell us about your kernel version. The w83627ehf module is not loaded in your kernel, which suggests that either you did not load it (try 'sudo modprobe w83627ehf'), or your kernel is too old and the w83627ehf driver does not support NCT6776. If the driver is loaded, you should see some information in dmesg telling you if it supports the chip or not. If your kernel is too old, it might make sense to download and install the nct6775 driver and use it instead of the w83627ehf driver. You can get it from github [1]. If your kernel is recent, it may already include the new driver. Try "sudo modprobe nct6775" to find out.
