The default for ntt is zero for both sander and pmemd. If nothing is printed
out about temperature, that means that ntt was set to 0 internally.
Don't look only at the RMS fluctuations in temperature; rather, look at the
profile of temperature vs. time. Depending on the size of your system, the
length of the simulation, the value of dt you used, etc., running NVE may be
fine -- for any sizeable system that one is likely to use Amber for,
differences between the NVE and NVT ensemble should be very small.
Bottom line, if the temperature vs time course looks OK, you should be fine.
