 Topic: Speed Fan ReadingsPosted: 07 Jan 2010 at 2:25pm |

Hello,
When looking at speed fan's readings it's shows fans 1 and 4 running at 100% and fans 2 and 3 at 0%. When I look at HW Monitor it shows fans 1-4 all at 100%. I guess I'm curious about the discrepancies in the 2. Also in HW Monitor the fans are always at 100% is it safe for my computer to have the fans all at 100% all the time? It's kinda noisy but I can live with it if it's not an issue. Also is there a way to tell which fan is 1, 2, etc.? I'm new to custom gaming computers and these monitoring programs. I am having some issues with my computer and DS is working with me to fix right now so I'm not shutting my comp off atm and don't want to risk frying anything. I haven't seen any temps above 60c as yet. Thanks for any info/help! |

which fans? gpu? cpu? case?
hw just shows your settings it does not control anything. speedfan gives you control on the fans tho, well some of them. also keep in mind that speedfan's temps are off and need to be adjusted. most of your noise should be coming from gpus's fans. run precision and set the fans for gpu to auto.

Thanks DST4ME,
I'm at work right now so going from my memory (faulty at times) I think on Speed Fan it just says fan 1, fan 2 etc. it's the fan readings on the main tab in Speed Fan but when I am home I will look to see if there is more info. I will look at precision as well thanks for the help! Edited by mercman - 07 Jan 2010 at 4:53pm |

you don't want to mess with your cpu fan speed and etc.
I would leave fanspeed alone if I were you, just use precision to control your gpus's fans, you don't want to mess with any other fans, unless you know exactly what you are doing. |

Ok I wont mess with fan speeds, just wanted to make sure those fans running at 100% all the time wouldn't burn anything up. I assume they are the case fans. I remember I ran gpu-z and it showed my gpu fan running at 21% while just on desktop, and when I have just closed out of gaming it was around 23% but temps on HW Monitor for the gpu and on gpu-z never exceeded around 60c. Thanks again DST4ME!

My pleasure
If the case fans are the stock fans, you can't control their speed anyways. |
