Fan conroller

lisa79 · 09-03-2005, 10:20 PM

I have a 92mm fan on the cpu that runs around 2800rpm if i got a fan contoller would that allow me to make it go any faster or is it already running the fastest it can go, i dont have the qfan in bios enabled btw. Thanks

hmmm, it is probably running at full already, by default they do. But it is possible to over volt it and make it go faster, kinda like overclocking a fan. But of course the motor gets hot and it could well die.

A fan controller is a good thing anyway, even if you cant make it go any faster you should still get one.

Yeah i kinda thought that it was set to fastest by default, worth askin still tho, cheers

you probably dont want it to spin faster anyways cause it would become really REALLY like...like my 5000+rpm fan =P

If its the cooling that your trying to increase then new HSF's arent that expensive. You can get a really good one for like £20-£30

ive just bought a new heatsink its the xp 90c and it has brought the temps down at full load its now only 58-60 tops when before it was like 72c, my room temps have been like 30-31c really damn hot, so it idling around 44c im guessing it aint gonna get any better while my room temp is how it is right now.

**dragon2309** · 09-05-2005, 03:24 PM

pretty good temps, is your P4 a rescott, im guessin it is.

lisa79 · 09-05-2005, 03:29 PM

u reckon the temps are ok? and yeh its a prescott, what are ur temps then?

**dragon2309** · 09-05-2005, 04:11 PM

well, presscotts are known to have heat issues but thats only really on SKT 478, and yours is LGA775, i think they ironed most of that out. My SKT 478 idles around 50 C. With a room temp of about 31 and an ambient case temp of 34. I think i got lucky on my fan layout so mine are a bit lower than usual.

Yours are respectable tems, nothing too low and nothuing too high. Average all round, which is fine.

lisa79 · 09-05-2005, 05:07 PM

yeh well i dont think im gonna be able to get them any lower anyway, ive given up trying now this is the third heatsink ive tried in a month, the other 2 were zalmans, this is the best one so far, have to say thanks to preator for giving me the idea to get the xp90c

, and thanks dragon again for lettin me know my temps aint too bad cheers
