    I've been playing around undervolting and pretty happy with the result. However, my fan usually won't kick in when I OC video card until CPU reach certain temp then fan will start spinning..... Could I make any adjustment to fan where it'll start working at lower temp? My fan usually kick in at temp 65C

    No I don't believe NHC has it, try out SpeedFan.

    interesting enough, speedfan and RMclock both are reporting different cpu temp for me. both cores running around 55C while RMclock reporting cpu temp 68C ..... Anyway, speedfan ver 4.32 didn't detect any fan...
