I have installed a Zalman CNPS10X extreme - all the apprpriate LEDs are glowing but the fan just "twitches" and does not actually rotate on auto or manual setting - what is the most likely cause? Or does the fan only come on when a certain temperature is reached?

Could be. The PWM fan's operation will vary depending on the motherboard's BIOS settings.Please check your motherboard's BIOS settings.
Depending on how the BIOS settings are set, the fan might kick in when the CPU has more processing load & its temperature starts to rise gradually. You could test it by placing more load on the CPU (running CPU intensive software) & observing the fan behavior. Just to rest assured.
In case you need any further help, feel free to drop me a note.
You're welcome.
