Yesterday I left the auto on just to see what it would do to my temps while playing WoW.
Over the course of 10 minutes the temps hit 92C.
Turning up the fan to 30% brought them down for awhile.
Today I had the fan at 30% I thought but...again it was 20.
I wondered to myself, hey why is it so quiet. Check ccc and boom, 87C. These temps are pretty pathetic for auto.
Did I miss the memo that says the fan never does anything automatically?
keeping the fan @ 35 keeps my temps at 45C.
Shame on this cooler.
Reference of course

I didn't even know about the auto fan speed so I guess I really did miss that memo
