motherboard built-in quietening

which motherboard manufacturers offer the best in built-in quietening controls? i.e. change the fan rpm automatically etc. i believe asus have something called Q-Fan, or something like that, and that microstar have something called "corecell". does anyone know if these are any good? or what mbs have them?

(i currently have an old MSI 6380 board (KT266 chipset) and a Tbird 1.4ghz Athlon)

Q-fan works fine for me on a ASUS A7V333.
It can take up to 350 mA, and I have both my CPU-fan and the extraction-fan regulated by Q-fan.
Under full load (Folding@Home) both fans are probably running at 8 volts.
The 60 mm CPU-fan revs at 2636 rpm. Not silent yet, but close.
