    thermostatic fan controllers ?

    is there any such thing like a 5.25 bay thermostatic fan controller which will automatically adjust fan speeds according to temp probes or maybe windows programs

    although im just about to order the a8n32 sli board maybe that does it itself ?

    I think Asus Q-fan simply cut your fan to 7V or so... It didn't speed up at all even my CPU is at 59'C...

    Smartguardian does that (DFI mobos) for all the fans on the board and you can set how fast it go at specific temperatures.
