    Ive just recently purchased this M1730 from Ebay, Everything is great and all works well but I have one thing which is bothering me a little, I bought it knowing the x9000 was a Engineering sample version B1 and does not come with a temperature sensing diode on the chip.

    Ive been experimenting with Orthos for stability at the stock and overclock speeds and everything appears to work fine for hours.

    I would just like to know from you guys at what CPU temperature does the M1730 turn on the fan on its first slow speed?
    Ive noticed it will increase the speed of the fan after a while to a little faster but then slow back down after a few minutes, This is whilst still running Orthos.
    So does anybody know what the temperature-fan speed settings are set at in the bios so i can get a guess of the CPU temperature?
