This should help with #163. Fans spin at very low speed at lower temperature to prevent the loud ramp-up that previously happened, especially when on NVIDIA graphics mode and doing something moderately loading the graphics card like video chat.
The system can still be silent under light use, and can still adapt to heavy load (with more noise). I think skin temperature is somewhat better compared to previously, due to running the fan at lower temperatures.
Here is a USB image to use for testing (on the oryp7 only!), unzip it and use Popsicle to flash the .img file to a USB stick, and then boot from the USB stick to flash the firmware:
oryp7-fan-curve.zip
To test on the oryp6, please build and flash this from source.
