Thermal-Take smart fans

Has anybody used these? I know it sounds like a good idea, but does it really change speed based on temp?

I posted this earlier... Someone else was looking for information and feedback about these fans.

"I have a "Thermaltake Volcano 9" and I love it. They do the trick better than anything I have used so far. My processor chip runs very hot and this is the only fan I have found that fits properly and cools properly.

Indeed they are loud, but you can adjust the speed of the fan manually while in BIOS looking at your temps to see where you can set the fan at while not getting a lot of noise. Although it is your decision... Good luck!"

Thanks Klutch. Actually I didn't make myself clear enough in my original post. I was referring to the case fans not the CPU coolers.

Case and CPU fans are really the same thing.
