hrmn... not CnQ compatable, eh? Are any of the aftermarket fans CnQ compatable, or is a stock fan required to use the CnQ feature?

Tx alot guys, looks like I'll be going with the CNPS7000B-AlCu LED, which is barely over the weight specifications ^_^ Assuming of course that it is Cool and Quiet compatable-- it is, isn't it?
