Also, some fans have a temp control that is linear. It doesn't switch |
| 17 |
between speeds but as the temperature increases the speed increases |
| 18 |
until it reaches a balance point. I have a ThermalTake cooler and that |
| 19 |
is how it works but there may be others. The temp sensor is attached |
| 20 |
under the CPU between the CPU and the socket. Mine has worked well for |
| 21 |
about five years now. |

Just something to consider. If you have a lappy, never mind. You may |
| 24 |
be stuck with the BIOS option. |
