fans

[Malak]

I booted up my rig after recieving a replacement video card, last one was a dud. But now it's really loud, it sounds like one of the fans inside is going full blast. I'm going to install ATITool in a sec to check the fan speed on the card. What should my CPU fan be at for speed? It's say it's at 4700RPM.

You can momentarily stop a fan by your hand to see which one is the loudest. Hold the center which has less movement to avoid getting hurt! Stop only for 2 seconds. Then, there should be no overheating problem.

That would be quite audible indeed. My A64 stock fan usually runs at 3000-3200 RPM.

What's wierd is I didn't have this problem before switching out video cards, but I doubt anything I did in there would affect it. Anyway to adjust the fan speed?

Cycloconverters on polyphase induction motors gives best control of speed and torque and can be applied to vaneaxial air handling applications for thermal management systems in microcomputers.

try speedfan or cpucool

That made absolutely no sense. None of that helps me.

I couldn't figure out how to get speedfan to change the fan speed at all, and cpucool costs money.

Anyone else know of any utilities to control my CPU fan?
