Ian, I'm sorry, I forgot to answer the actual points; PSV keeps it below where it is set. The fan continues to run approx. every 20 sec, for 14 sec Currently (with it set to HIGH in /etc/rc.conf) it runs at a consistent 1298, at C2 99% of the time. Occasionally dips down to 1135 which does not seem to coincide with fan operation. This computer is by no means a workhorse, and even when I do work it it more or stays the same (fan wise). Like running rezound and gnuitar while playing guitar through it and looping on rezound. I think I have some issues with ports or pkg_add databases, I cannot install it. But I will, probably. I was trying to use the 'watch' command to update 'sysctl' but I must have forgotten the command that keeps tabs on a command printing the results periodically.
