I deliberately put my govenor to the conservative one, as I hated fans spinning up for a second and then down again repeatedly. Much rather sacrifice a bit of battery and speed for quiet.

Can't you just cap the fan speed? Or does it actually get too hot at a lower fan speed to where it would throttle or crash?

I wanted the full power when doing long compiles and such. Just not the fan jojo acion when neowsing the web or writing.

Also swapping the governor was trivial and reliable. Modifying fan profiles has always been a bit of a struggle for me, with huge differences in hardware support, persistence etc.

		Thanks. I hate the autocorrect as it's so often wrong, but hitting the right "keys" with no tactile feedback is such a pain. I miss T9...

Smart. That would drive me nuts too.
