Ok, I'll give a higher value a go, just enough to get it silent (its pretty good at 1800rpm and below on the Ultra 4).

They actually weren't saved in the file for some reason. Strange...
Also having installed fancontrol and used the above settings, it's indeed rock-solid at 34º CPU and 30º case temps, no more cyclic variation, so it does at least seem to be working more as expected.
