Did you set this ? It is quite unusual. Setting:??????????????? Current FAN Mode is Optimal. Set Fan to Standard Speed Set Fan to Full Speed Set Fan to Optimal Speed > Bank 7: >???? 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0a 0b 0c 0d 0e 0f > 00: ff 95 02 10 00 00 00 00 00 64 00 00 00 00 00 00 > 01: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 f8 80 f8 80 f8 80 f8 80 00 ???????????????????????????????????????????????????^^ 00 here shows that the PECI source is not active, ie the CPU does not deliver PECI data to the NCT6776. This explains the alarm. Practical impact is probably limited as fan control is configured to be manual anyway, but I wonder why PECI doesn't work on your board. PECI configuration is identical to my Supermicro board.
