    Al, Download the unlocked Bios at tech inferno it will allow you to adjust when the fan starts (by temp) in the advanced options

    Is the noice level the same? Mine spin up to 3000 rpm every 5-10 min. Maybe they spin up often but are not running as high as before? Just asking, have not got to upgrade to A08 yet.
