After reading on the MSI Forum and on this forum, I have doubts that the Cool'n Quiet is working completely on the MSI K8NGM2-FID. With BIOS 3.1, it seems the processor clocks down to 1 GHZ, but that the processor fan keeps spinning at high speed.
If so, you get the Cool, but not the Quiet.
Looking at the BIOS settings in the manual, I am not seeing any option to control CPU fan speed in relation to processor temp or Cool'n Quiet. There is an option for controlling System fan (case fan) speed, however.
Can anybody confirm that the CPU fan can or cannot vary according to temp or CnQ settings?
Thanks
