Silent means it will use the lowest speed possible without rising
temperature.
In "normal" situation, the speed is kept so it will achieve a good
balance between temperature and the speed of the fan.

If your computer is not installed in a very warm place and you are not
doing some intensive work then it's possible that even running at a low
speed the fans still do all the job needed.

If you take the option for let say "performance" then it will be at max
speed so the system is the coolest possible all the time.

Not sure if I said it right...
