I notice when I boot up my Vista box, that every fan runs at full blast
until some point during Vista boot, whereby first the CPU fan virtually
turns off, then a few seconds after the desktop appears the GPU fan
virtually turns off, all I can hear then is just occasional blips of hard
drive head movement - until I fire up a 3D game, then all hell breaks loose
again :-)
