sauronrx Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 Running 1.6 volts to the chipset - just got done running some memory tests in everest, sandra, and ran superpi 32m, OCCT hates me, wont be stable at stock speeds so i dont even use it anymore. Prime 95 for 4 hours. Heres the MBM pic.... usually well last night it was running 3000 rpm which i thought was fast... is this an error in the MBM proggy? or is my chipset fan REALLY running that friggin fast... is that safe if it is? why is it so fast? temps are not that high... any suggestions? or anyone else seen speeds like this?

steelballzz Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 at my home i use speedfan to reduce chipset fan to 60%...its where the irritating noise stops it never goes above 42ºc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flagger Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 yer that fan is noisy at 7K. i reapplied as5 to the nf4, now it idles around 52, and gets to 55c on load. i set the full speed kick in to 58c in bios, and now it spins at around 5K, and its not very noticable.

By design, yes. By my past exp, expect to replace that HSF in about a year if not sooner. This is my only complaint with this mobo but not a big one since I can put in my 9800 HSF in at any time.

sauronrx Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 what program are you using to alter its speed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thasp Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 Yes, it spins insanely fast loud. I got rid of mine in favor of a passive cooler. When I installed a new vid card, there was no airflow there whatsoever, so I have an intake fan and the stock amd heatsink's fan twist tied all over the place to the ram fan and hard drive bays in order to point it at the chipset, helps a lot.

SaFrOuT Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 use the bios setup to edit ur fan speeds for the best results mine is 24/7 @ ~2400rpm which keeps it @ 45C and very silent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
