fan

Hello! I’ve had my pc for about 2 years (end of 2020 and for some reason my cpu seems to be idling at rather hot temps. It fluctuates between 60c and about 64c very rarely dropping to below 60c. I’ve tried dusting the case and fans and even replacing the cpu fan (with an aftermarket fan) and...

My old (we're talking 2007ish old) no name power supply doesn't spin fast enough (we're talking 40rpm, yes I actually counted it), and it's uncomfortably hot to the touch, it doesn't necessarily burn you, but it's hot enough to make you feel like something has to be done about it. I know how...

I know you can plug 3-pin fans into 4-pin headers, this is about getting fan speed control on 3-pin fans with no bios/hardware support for regulating their voltage. I've got dead mobos and PSUs to source parts from, and time to tinker with the idea. I have no background in electronic engineering...

Hi. I'm considering getting a Phanteks Eclipse P300A (http://www.phanteks.com/Eclipse-P300A.html) for my next build. One thing I'm concerned about - I do intend to populate the 2 bottom trays with 3.5" HDDs. However, it seems there is no fan sending air in their direction, leading to...

I have a 2 pin(analog connector female) fan which is 12V DC. My motherboard doesn't have any 2 pin male point (have a 4pin sys_fan point only). Also my smps doesn't have any molex male point (only 4 pin analog connector female). now what to do? how to connect it as a secondary fan? my mb =...

I recently started my 3rd PC build and have never ran into this issue before. I have Rosewill Prism S-Black case and a ASRock AB350 PRO4 motherboard. For some reason I cannot control any of the 4 pre-installed case fans neither through software nor through the BIOS. I have tried using the BIOS...

Replaced a CPU fan on an HP Pavilion g7-2325dx and the whole install went smoothly, I even cleaned off the CPU and the heatsink with an alcohol pad and applied some new Arctic Silver MX-4 thermal paste. Everything is running just fine and showing no signs of system issues other than it being an...

I have this one AVC Fan, model number DA12025B12L that has been a VERY reliable fan for me over the years. I recently had a chance to buy a pack of fans with the same model number for fairly cheap. I like to have spare fans on-hand so I bought them. When they arrived, I was surprised to see...

've been using my Intel 4770k with the stock cooler , temps were a little high but it was without a problem. I set the Ram to XMP ,2133mhz, a few months ago.. Now even very rarely I got crashes. Now I want to change the cpu cooler and thermalpaste, I'm a bit inexperienced a bit about it. -It...

Hi guys, two days ago I've bought on ebay this laptop (asus X54HR) for 70$ on bid (it has just the battery exausted and a replaced power connector). The Laptop fan goes full speed (4390 RPM) and always on from when I power on untill I power it down the specs are: i3 HM65 Chipset AMD Radeon...

Hi everyone. I am building a PC for a customer, and he wants additional RGB fans. I was checking the egg and found the aigo r3 3 pack for a good price. After reading more details I noticed that the fan has a proprietary 6-pin connector, and this connector goes into the aigo controller. They...

Hey, I've got a system that was working previously. I replaced the stock cooler, and the new cooler doesn't have the right fan power connector, so I have it connected to main power so it's just always on. The temperature on the GPU (R9 280X Visiontek) is very low, idling under 30 degrees, and...

When I launched my stationary PC this morning, there were some books on the keyboard so it started beeping, i don't know which buttons the books were on and my fans started running so fast and extremely loud. My pc have 3 fans, 2 of them are running on 3XXX RPM and the other one on 5XXX RPM...

Does anyone know what the input current current (amps) of this fan is? https://pcpartpicker.com/product/x8DwrH/cougar-case-fan-cfd12hbb I checked their website, but they didn't say. I need it to be below .3 amps for what I'm planning with a fan controller. I assume it is indeed below that...

I've been deliberating on what fans to include in the Thermaltake Core V21 case. I've thought of replacing the stock 200mm fan with one that has blue led, and I've thought of putting a 140mm blue led pwm fan in the rear as exhaust. The 200mm fan's cfm is 148.7 while the 140mm fan's cfm is 20-97...

Hi amigos, its been 5 months since i built a new PC thanks to your help and now is the perfect time to add a second intake fan, i got a discount code from a company that ships amazon products from USA to Chile , the Phanteks case i bought from them only came with one exhaust fan and i think...

Specs: i5 6660k, gtx 950, corsair CX750M (power supply), and my cpu cooler is the corsair h80i Ok so now when I turn my pc on (built it last january) it will work fine for like 5 minutes, then the fans will crank it up and become very loud, and burning odor will be released. Shortly after, the...

Hey guys, I’m thinking of adding more fans to my system, to cool my GPU and more importantly in controlling the amount of dust getting in to my pc case. Thus I’m hoping to set up a positive air pressure with more intake airflow than exhaust. However I am confused with the following, because...

Currently using these on my Corsair H80i CPU cooler: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181027 They're great fans, but - judge me all you want - I really want some CPU fans that have built-in red LED lighting. If possible, I'd like something with similar quality as the fan...

'Ey lads, in a bit of a bind. See, the 92mm fan supplied with the TX3 Evo isn't exactly...Good. I've just about reached it's actual life expectancy (bought it in early 2012), and oh god does it make a racket when my CPU is being put through it's paces. Trouble is, there aren't any decent 92mm...

Hi there, I'm planning to buy Thermaltake Riing 12 RGB 3 Pack. The package includes 3 rgb fans, 1 controller, and some cables. Each fan has 5 pin to the controller. And 4 pin controller to the motherboard. But my motherboard supports only 3 pin. So my question is, can I control the...

I upgraded the processor in my work computer at the office but I totally spaced the proprietary CPU_FAN header on the motherboard. I would prefer not to use the stock cooler as it's small, ugly, and probably mostly useless. It also has a rough aluminum base instead of copper and they used cheap...

Hi there. My laptop is super hot! (already replaced thermal grease, didn't help much :p) so I am going to replace my laptop's internal DVD drive with a fan. Initially found two possible "solutions" : 1)...

Currently using zotac gtx 1080 amp edition in sli. Wondering why they are running at such different fan speeds. Even when the 2nd gpu hits the temp of the first, it runs much slower. When the 2nd one hit 70+ degrees, i set it at 80% fan speed but it only got to 50+% which was about 1200+ rpm. I...

Can someone please suggest me a cheap heat sink that'll keep my pc quiet. I don't use pc for gaming but after I run couple programs at once it'll start making loud noise. It gets very loud when I run Nox (Androiod Simulator). Everything is stock in the PC. I am not sure if I measured correctly...
