If it doesn't, however, you'll need to go into the BIOS and adjust the fan curve there. One of my PCs doesn't allow me to lower the fan from 100% during operation above 70C. I find this incredibly annoying on that computer because CPUs on air spike all the time, so I just keep the curve more consistent at a sacrifice of constant fan noise. I'd rather more whirling sound all the time then it randomly oscillating.
Noise is one of the main reasons I water-cool my system. As long as any reasonable amount of air is going through the radiator, the fans don't need to ramp up like crazy. They can stay at a constant medium speed, low-noise setting.

Found it in bios.. switched the curve from normal to quiet... which basically lowers the first 4 points and then shoots up to full speed at 5. Seems better, but I may tune it manually. I can still hear the fans kick up momentarily on CPU spikes which is unnecessary because its just gonna calm right back down 3 seconds later.
Thanks for the suggestion, gonna keep playing with it.
