What is the recommended RPM?

osak4x

This is my first time I build a PC so I'm not sure if these RPM are OK.

 

Temperatures with the current RPM configuration I have:

Idle: 40c CPU temperature (highest temperature of the cores). Although in Fan Xpert 2 it says 32c as the CPU temperature. Anyone knows why?

Load: 60c CPU temperature (highest temperature of the cores)

 

My question is: Are these RPM extremely high? Should I go for lower RPM's?

 

Note: I don't mind the fans being loud as long as they keep everything relatively cool.

 

Thanks in advance.

I have my fans run in the 5-800 RPM range and begin ramping up at 50 degrees to reach max at 85 degrees celcius, which my system never reaches. I hate loud fans and as long as your CPU stays under 80 degrees during an average load like gaming you have nothing to worry about.

I thought it had to be lower than the Tcase max temperature which is 67.4c in my case. CPU spec sheet link: http://ark.intel.com/products/65719/Intel-Core-i7-3770-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-3_90-GHz

 

What size are your fans?

my system is running something like 10 120mm fans. don't feel like going to count

Tcase is the max temperature you can have the "case" or the surface of the heat spreader. the important number is the TJ max, which is 105 degrees

I have that CPU, unlocked. I overclock mine to 4.7 ghz and run it at 80 degrees celcius and have no trouble at all.

Thanks. I will go lower on the RPM in that case. That might make the fans last a little longer.

in all of my years of computing going back to my windows 98 days, only ever had a fan die once, and that was just a sleeve bearing wearing out and get untolerably noisy.

I always spin my fans as slow as possible. I hate unnecessary noise when my temps are low.

With case fans rpm doesn't make that big difference. In my own tests, highest difference between 7V and 12V was 5C on GPU. With CPU fans I found out that having fan running over 70% of speed didn't make difference. So now both of my CPU fans are going 550-1300rpm while max would be 1500rpm.

Set em all to full blast and go.

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Dubs are better than subs

I don't mind the noise and I would definitely do that because where I live and my room is really hot. My friends call it the oven. But sadly I can't do that because the fans would fail earlier.
