my fan goes quiet at cpu 43C and hdd 30C. It switches on when the hdd is 
around 32C. But as I'm running a p2p client this is fairly normal.

well you could run without any X and you will see if it is KDE or not...

not quite. ondemand is a governor in the kernel that handles the 
throtling automaticaly without any deamons. But the effect should be the 
same, or so I guess.

I use hddtemp from http://www.guzu.net/linux/hddtemp.php
