Your comparison of "it works on X" is not really worthwhile as it is unlikely to solve your problem with OpenBSD. If your system manipulates the fans through ACPI, OpenBSD will not be able to manipulate your fans. At least, not until ACPI support is present in OpenBSD. It is being worked on in -current, though. > Can the problem be resolved with some configurable settings in OpenBSD? It's mainly a matter of support being available or not, not one of turning knobs. You may want to quiet your system through other means (e.g. through a large heatsink with a fan that you can physically tune to a lower speed).
