Auto mode working in Windows 10 Preview

I am running Windows 10 Preview in Bootcamp and have noticed that the Auto mode always leaves the fans on minimum.
Here is an example (playing Asphalt 8). Note the log says Windows 8.1 but it is not it is Windows 10 build 9936 (x64).
I know Windows 10 is beta and not released but thought it might be interesting none the less.

Try to heat up CPU to 100C (all 4 cores) and see
not working
It might be working correctly

You are correct - it does work, sorry. The fans start speeding up at 100C. It is a little close to shutdown temperature though (for me, perhaps I worry too much) and the default values for sensors result in fans speeding up at much lower temperatures.
Is it documented anywhere what the Auto setting algorithm is?

No it's not documented.
