Aaron, are you sure that you're supposed to be able to adjust the fan speed
on the 380 from within the OS? The reason that I ask, is that the 330's and
350's have a temp sensor that isn't detected until during post, so there's a
few seconds on them that the fans run full on. I'm just curious because if
the 380's are set up the same, you may have a faulty sensor.
