CPU fan speed , want faster

honsbeek · 12-04-2005, 09:33 AM

Hi ,

My cpu fan sticks at 2500 RPM , is there any way I can speed it up?
I know of fanspeed regulator, but aren't they more to reduce the rpm rather than increase them?

I simply have the fan 3 pin power plug directly plugged into the MOBO , what can I do to speed it up

Thanks
good day

goto BIOS and look at that fanspeed control you mentioned. you should be able to max it out or increase the speed somehow. also, sometimes there is a setting to have it spin at high rpm only above a certain temp. see if you can lower that temp.

Thats about average for a CPU fan thats 80mm. Mine only does 2900 and is able to max at 4000 but wont.

If you have a 3 pin fan power plug you cant cange the speed in the Bios you need a 4 pin plug for that.
