need help with cpu fan control

[winkawak]

I have a corsair h60 cpu fan which seems to be running at the same speed at all times. Where do i go or install exactly to control the fan speed? i want it to be reasonable kick in only when needed like gaming

Look in BIOS.

there are programs you can get to control the fan speed but by doing that you have to look at it all the time, because most of the programs disable the heat sensor. i would go with bios as well tbh. it may be noisy but its better than disabling your heat sensor and overheating your pc

Does the 3rd party app not automatically set the cpu fan speed? why do i need to monitor it at all times?

I have a fatility x99x killer mobo and i was googling the manual book and saw nothing mentioning of cpu fan control in there, i might be wrong

i mean it depends, i used speed fan on a old compaq with the cpu fan and it worked but when i tried it on a newer pcs the thing was too advanced to be taken over, so if thats the case and speed fan doesnt work than 3rd party apps might do it, i mean there could be one that lets you set a certian temp but idk, most of the ones i saw just disable your sensor or is just a bunch of malware infected files.

I see, btw is it called cpu fan control in the bios? or should i look for another specific terms. Ill look into my bios later today when free.

i mean tbh idk, youl have to search because in my bios its just simple, its either fan at max or fan at auto but its prob dif with yours, just navigate bios and im sure youl find something, but if you dont then an app might be ur choice

What is your motherboard?

Usually in the latest mobo, you can set a curve for all fans

You can try to use Afterburner and check if it works.

Or Fan Expert from Asus

Man, enter every option in your BIOS, explore etc. Is not a maze, you can find interesting things in there, especially in Fatal1ty serie. It may be Q-fan or similar. Many times is in Hardware Monitor section.

I just oc my 5820k to 4.4ghz and set the fan profile to standard, no longer im running full speed at all times!
