Power in my area/house is too shitty for standby, but since I work on laptop I use hibernate a fair bit on all my PCs.
I, personally, don't care about an RPM sensor on the pump. All I need is the CPU temp sensor hooked to shutdown. That way if ANYTHING goes wrong, then it shuts down.
KISS and all that.
There is "silent" and then there is "silent".
I do like the idea of slowing down a pump.
I am not after overclocks, I am after silence, as I do some late night computing where you can hear pins dropping. Lots of other guys have their PC in their bedroom.
I can see a benefit of having the pump able to be controlled to slow down and go from "9pm TV on in another room, odd car driving past" quiet to 4am quiet.
