I have noticed that i dont have the options in the speed tab. and even in the temperatures tab, it only mentiones CORE 1 AND CORE 2 nothing pertaining to my hard drive or anything, any help is appreciated, I own a hp pavillion dv6335ca laptop with dual core 1.7ghz processor with 1 gb or ram. Thanks Hi.

Yeah the Cosmos is a great case. A bit on the expensive side, but I got it for $165.99 after mail in rebate. Fans could be better but the computer overall is very quiet, I can barely hear it. A great change, from my old, mediocre mini dell tower. Very heavy though, not portable if you're into LAN parties. Lots of space, simple and intuitive tooless design (except for motherboard etc.) The easy switch to open the side panel gets makes is the easiest panel opener I've ever seen. Case looks great too, good airflow, great design. Thanks for the info. Yeah the Cosmos is a great case. A bit on the expensive side, but I got it for $165.99 after mail in rebate.

Having the delta value too high (~10) caused the fan speeds to jump wildly around as they tend to change too fast in response to a temperature change, causing a sort of "instability" as the temperature then rapidly adjusts to the rapidly-changing fan speeds. Having a lower delta value will take the fans longer to response to a temp. change but it will tend to settle in a better manner. BTW, the Cosmos looks like a great case. I've been thinking of getting one; what are your thoughts on it? Hi Nick,

Does this mean I can have a lower delta value and/or minimum fan speed?

How good the fans are, how many you have, how much air they move, your maximum and minimum speeds and temperatures, etc. In your experience, what general area do you think one should set the Delta/Step value? I realize that if you have more fans, the fans don't need to adjust as fast and vice versa I know that it varies from system to system because there are lot of factors.
