Neighbor K6XX, a serious contester and the Elecraft engineer responsible 
for putting both of their amps into production, advised me to use the 
default settings for fan control, letting the firmware deal with thermal 
issues. Bob knows that I do a LOT with WSJT modes on 6M during the 
summer. He also advised me to turn off the amp when not in use, noting 
that fans have the lowest MTBF of any parts in the amps, thanks in part 
to the accumulation of dust.
