Cpu fan

Hi all,

Need help here, was there a way to reduce my CPU FAN speed. It spin so fast and damn noise.. . 1st i thought becozz of dust but after i clean the FAN the noise still there...is driving me CRAZY -dead

 

buy a fan that has adjustable speeds =)

u do know the cpu fan goes at that speed because it needs to..
the cpu is probably heating up cos of stuff ur using
leave the pc in a better environment and upgrade the case =)

 

cant u adjust the speed in your BIOS setting?

 

depends on the mobo
not sure wat he has...

but as i mentioned earlier
u can always buy aftermarket "silent" fans

if u get decent products for ur case and fans
u'd hardly hear the noise

a $40 case vs $300 case, was like near 20 degrees difference on my cpu
not to mention u hardly hear anything

its still noticeable
but wen u compare wat it is to wat it was before... its like chocolotte vs shit

 

water cooling ftw

 

^ too much hassle to set up..... fans are quick and easy to install...... takes like 10 minutes, from the unplugging of the computer peripherals to the replugging with the fan installed

 

well it is a hassle with those custom one with a big tank of thingy but if u buy those water cooling kits it should be pretty easy like this one

what motherboard do you use, most will have the option to have a variable fan speed depending on CPU temp

See if you can find the temp you CPU is running at, it may be the case that the fan is on max because you have very high temps, either due to use, or because the heatsink has become loose or the thermal paste has become useless

 

^my money's on dead thermal paste

 

why do u want to reduce fan speed? if its cos of noise, i guess ur fan needs some oil....

 

dim8sum i fucking love ur picture lol dunno why but he seems to have awsome pics all da time, good taste

 

haha thanks :biggthumpup:

 

Get the fan where you can adjust the speed. Get thermaltake fan

 

scythe is pretty good imo, and remember to change thermal compound (arctic silver) or u could always get your HSF and CPU lapped =\

 

you could use the program "Speed Fan" to reduce the speed of your fan.

 

Arctic Silver thermal paste and a copper core or full copper heatsink does a good job.

 

just change to a the C2Ds or something, my Q6600 will never pass the 940 rpm mark on the HSF...

 

i wouldnt change the speed of the fan.. else it might burn away ur cpu cause of heat xD it only will spin fast when needed i guess...

 

zalman cpu fans are really good and quiet

 

You mean the fan circuitry will short out and epically failing the power to it? Yeah.... you don't want to be messing with changing fans to drasctically....
