I'm comfortable with it now that I have verified everything working correctly but initially watching those swings was a bit well terrifying. I still am looking at some mods to minimize the swings though.
Low speed fans on at the center of the zero seems more correct to me if your low speed fans are kicking in at 212F as mine are. Porsche may have implemented some step increments at some point to keep from freaking out the masses with temp swings.
