get a smartfan2. you can adjust the fan speed so if it's too loud you can just turn it down. it works awesome with the slk-900 heatsink

I just installed a SmartFan 2, my first.

I don't know if it is on 'idle' or 'high'. When the computer is just displaying a screen and doing no processing, I've turned the little 'control knob' and looked for something to happen. Max left and Max-right have no impact on the fan speed.

Will the fan go faster when higher temps are sensed?

Thanks. That was the clue I needed.

I am using a Panflo 92mm on my SLK900U. Excellent cooling with good airflow and quiet.
