I also was thinking about the hardware that is missing. To bad... About the
program, I installed it on my A7N8X-X board (2700+, stock cooler) and the
cpu temp was rising right away (to very temps above 56 degree c). I heard no
noise reduction so I removed it.
I don't understand why Asus doesn't support it to al boards. I saw in
AsusWorld magazine that only the newest boards (and fully equiped boards)
support Q-Fan2. Also the chassis fan is controlled. I bit late I think, all
the Compaq/hp machine's (even the Presarios) are supporting that for a year
or longer... And yes, there is an Asus or MSI (%$*$$$) board is installed.
