I'll add one more weird thing on my NCT6775F.

[root@midnight w83627ehf.656]# echo 3200 >fan2_min
[root@midnight w83627ehf.656]# cat fan2_div
8
[root@midnight w83627ehf.656]# cat fan2_input
133
[root@midnight w83627ehf.656]# cat fan2_div
16
[root@midnight w83627ehf.656]# cat fan2_input
133
[root@midnight w83627ehf.656]# cat fan2_div
32
[root@midnight w83627ehf.656]# cat fan2_input
133
[root@midnight w83627ehf.656]# cat fan2_div
64
[root@midnight w83627ehf.656]# cat fan2_input
132
[root@midnight w83627ehf.656]# cat fan2_div
64

I waited a second or two between commands.

Does this mean that 16-bit mode works but the driver doesn't realize it works?
