I've had a Zalman Liquid Cooling fan for about 6 months now, which does its job of keeping my Intel i5-4670 icy cold, at around 15C doing basic desktop/browser work.
My problem is that upon doing simple tasks, such as using a paint bucket in image editing software, or dragging tables around in Word, my CPU usage will jump from 1% to 20% (no big deal), and the fan will noisily speed up to deal with the sudden increase, before slowing down a second later.
I appreciate my fans consideration for the well-being of my CPU, but is there a way to tone down the cooling a little (to keep it idle at ~25C), and to reduce its responsiveness to sudden changes in CPU usage, perhaps using a function of the CPU usage over the past X seconds?
Cheers.
