I'm using a Thermaltake Silentboost K8 to cool my Athalon FX-53 939. I'm running CoolnQuiet on my rig as well. When I was using a Spire Kestrel III CnQ would vary the voltage and hence the CPU fan rpms between about 2500 and 5400 depending on the application...
I went with the Silentboost because... well it's really "silent". But the Silent boost runs at a constant speed no matter how hot or cool the rig gets. Is CnQ trying to reduce the RPM's to a fan that's non adjustable? When cool the fan show's slight reductions in RPM's but nothing much. Is the protocol trying to slow down something that should run constant and am I hurting the fan in the process.

If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.
