Those are actual rpms, not just a multiplied rpm. What I mean is that you can hear the fan spinning up or down and the temperature going up or down accordingly.
But even setting it to 3 is not enough to spin at maximum speed. Anyway, now I can load the system without the FBDIMM going above 75oC.

Sure, let me know your findings. In meanwhile, I am using the patch here. Thanks, fbl
