Hmm, that doesn't help much. Still missing details about what temp thresholds we are talking about, etc.

I am assuming there is a temperature sensor inside the PSU. In that case the case fans are spun up a little faster when the temp inside the PSU is higher? That doesn't classify as "case fan" feature. In no way does that feature correlate to "system load", unless there is direct connection between PSU temps and system load. The only way that could be useful is if the fans attached to the PSU blow at the PSU.

Frankly speaking that sounds like false advertising. The wording on all Scythe sites states that the purpose of this feature is "to better optimize the airflow for your PC system". From what you are telling me the only thing that feature tries to optimize is the airflow of the PSU (and not very successfully at that).

It's like using the HDD's temp sensor to control case fans... not very intelligent at all if you ask me. A bit disappointed.

But hey, I bought a PSU not a fan controller. Please, clarify such features before advertising them as selling points.

Thanks,
Svetoslav
