AC Cooling Fans

[Mike Proicou]

Before the fan-questions die a natural death, let me get mine in:
I have a 3b1 (full-height case), and stock fan.  The fan is a variable
speed one, it speeds up occasionally (when it gets too hot, I guess).
The speed-up mode really is loud, too.  If I install an AC fan, the
temperature sensing goes away, right?  If so, I have to run the fan at 
"wind-machine-mode" all the time, right?  This doesn't sound like a 
good trade-off to me.  What am I missing?
