Zallman makes some good stuff so I wouldn't expect it to be that... I have a
Zallman cooler and fan combo on my IC7-G with no issues. Like you, I hear
it speed up to full speed during boot, right after POST and then slows righ
back down unless things heat up. see the test below for a snippet of my
logs from MBM... the first RPM is the CPU fan and the second is the NB fan.
as loads go up and corresponding temps go up, so do RPM's and then they go
right back down as things drop off... I run MBM and SpeedFan together to
control NB speeds and I let the bios control CPU fan speed.
