That would mean that system fan has different max rpm. And no, you can't run fan SAFELY or with just PC hardware over the rated rpm. You could overvolt it with external power delivery, but that kills things fairly quickly. You can check videos from YT for more.

Good day!

 

I would just like to ask the experts here, is there a way to manually tweak my CPU fan speed. I'm using a Deep Cool GAMMA ARCHER on my i5-3550.

 

Any help with my current settings to hit at least 2,500 RPM? Thanks!

Not sure what you mean.

 

But your cooler fan has a maximum speed of 1600 RPM.

Yea. From its listed spec it has a max of 1.6k RPM. However, sometimes when I check the RPM via HWID it is at 1.7-1.8K RPM.

Where do you get the 2500rpm then? The 1700-1800rpm is within margin of error mentioned in spec:

Quote

1600±10%RPM

That means that max rpm can vary 1440-1760rpm and be still in rated spec.

Okay, Sir. Thanks! God bless!
