rpm for cpu fan and pwr fans

[Bacardi151]

as the topic summary reads......what's a good rpm to set the two fans to?

 

[Atomic Rooster]

I set mine to where it cools well with the minimum amount of noise.

Currently my HSF is running at 2200 rpm, while the case fan is at 2700 rpm.

which would be at what value?

should i increase mine?

it's currently at 2020 rpm (cpu fan), pwr fan is 2109 rpm

and i really think i should do that to mine cuz it's at avg around 48-51 when i do regular stauff

but when i play CS it goes up to 54-56 and at times reboots cuz of that as well

wrong forum...

that entirely depends on how your system is set up, your ambient temps, how hard your cpu is working, and how quiet you want it.

what kind of fan is it anyway? if its overheating on you... then you should turn it up.

well i think it's more important to keep my CPU healthy and cool (i.e. under 55.....but i want ti to be safe so more like under 53 or 52 including when i play CS)

here's a noob question, do i change the rpm in my bios? i use MBM to monitor my mobo, can i change it within MBM?

thx in advance

can't remember what fan it was, its not a fancy one, got it from SVC for 20 bucks or so, but i'm sure it can spin faster than what it's set to at the moment

Unless you fan has a knob on it to set the RPM, you can't, it is rated at a certain RPM and that is where it will stay.
