That's interesting - when I plugged my Fanmate into the equation I
found that the fan went at only one speed and that was top speed and
it wouldn't turn down, so it was actually quite noisy then. Not sure
if I should have left it for a few minutes until it decides it's OK to
slow down or something, but I decided it wasn't worth it so I
unplugged the Fanmate. Got no help from Zalman on their support forum
which was disappointing. Not a major drama as the CPU temp hovers
around 50 C.

Is there a special trick to getting the Fanmate to work?
