High Cpu Idle -- Wrong Fan Configuration?


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

 

Been a while since I've requested some assistance here, but last time I did the response was so great, here I go again :)

My i5-750 that I OC to 3.5 ghz idles at about 37 - 43 C using RealTemp. My Lian Li case has a large fan in front blowing air in, two on top sucking air out, and one in the back also sucking out air.

 

I have a Noctura fan for the CPU with both fans, one pushing air in and one sucking air out, so I'm thinking my CPU should be quite cool. No matter what, my fan speeds

stay the same. I use the ASUS Fan Expert, and tried SpeedFan (or something like that) but my RPMs for the fans stay the same. I'm thinking I don't have the fans

plugged into the right fan ports on the MOBO. I should be able to increase the speed of the Noctura and the main fan in front, right? When I turn on turbo on FanExpert absolutely

nothing happens. In BIOS, all the fan settings are set to enabled. I'm really at a lose here :(

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated !!!

 

 

BTW: My entire system I built about 6 months ago.

 

 

Thank you all

Were the temps lower before and just started getting hotter? Those are not bad idle temps. Plus load temps are really the main concern. What are load temps?
