The case fans make between 1800-2100rpm while maintaining 35-40 degrees Centigrade. (temperature measured by sticking an thermometer into the air exhaust; the Mobo sensor reports 31 C). Actually, I did some crude case modding. If someone's interested, I'd gladly describe the whole setup -- I'm mighty proud of it. But the general concept is that several slow fans make less (and less annoying) noise than a single, fastgoing fan. </showoff mode> > What you are after is called fan divisor.

I've seen and ignored that file, under the believe that "fan divisior" merely relates to some fans giving twice as many clicks per revolution. Following that advice did help. Thanks, now I get the readings I expected. cu, Schnobs
