# Configuration Notes:
# REMOVED: auxiliary_fan (nct6686 is read-only, causes crashes)
# FOCUS: NVMe cooling priority - drives at 60-66°C are critical
# STRATEGY: 3-fan setup with aggressive storage cooling
# 
# Fan assignments:
# - case_fan_main: Balanced cooling for general airflow
# - cpu_case_fan: CPU-focused with safety (neverStop: true)  
# - exhaust_fan: Dedicated to aggressive NVMe cooling
