I have my motherboard set to run the CPU radiator fans a low-moderate speed at ~50 degrees C and below, but ramp up rapidly approaching 55+, with no hysteresis or gradual ease-in. I can absolutely gauge CPU usage on a second-by-second basis by fan noise. Any transient spikes cause an easily perceptible (but not overwhelming) wooshing.
