Any body else have this problem / behaviour

When i used to do a restart or general startup my Power Mac used to really spin the fans and be loud for about 5 seconds. I installed a Belkin USB PCI card into my Power mac and restarted and its all quiet, the machine still boots up ok but there is no fan speed increase etc. Thinking that the USB PCI card had caused this i pulled in out, restarted and it is still quiet?

I reset the PMU and PRAM (for what its worth) and there is still no fan speed increase

So, any ideas... ?

If temps are Ok, and things are performing correctly, I wouldn't worry too much.

Just one of those things.
