Is there an app for CPU fan curve?

[Bimyself]

I tried going into the bios to set it after i saw over 90 degree temps but i couldnt do anything with the useless acer bios.

There's a program called FanControl on this forum that I've had success with, but I don't know if it works on OEM motherboards.

Speedfan, assuming your board OEM doesn't lock it out. Argus Monitor as well, but that costs money. Double check your thermal paste application and clean your PC.

Forget software, ensure your cooler has fresh thermal paste and is properly seated first.

90 degrees? Are your fans full speed? If yes your cooling is innapropriate, maybe bad thermal paste application or bad cooler overall/bad fan orientation, could you post your specs?

bad thermal paste application or bad cooler overall/bad fan orientation, what cooler are you using, are those temps at idle? 

im not too sure what the cooler is, it's just the one that came with the pc, and no, 90 degrees is during heavy load, idle temps are 45-50

this started happening today all of the sudden fyi

@Bimyselfyou need to do this, no software will change physically bad cooling

is it possible that it is my power supply that i just got that could be the cause? im not sure if i can send a pic of it here, its a cx650m mounted at the top

is this synthetic load during a benchmark or during a game?

i noticed it while playing microsoft flight sim

no, these temps are actually pretty acceptable if its during very heavy load on both cpu and gpu

the problem with this is that it used to be 83 degrees max unitl today

Thats the thing, the game is very demanding, these temps are decent enough, if your fans spin at full speed.

hmm ok

i wouldnt worry about it unless it goes over 90.

ill see what it maxes out at

what rpm do your fans run at? or if you dont know is your pc louder during the load?

they do speed up under load, im not sure by how much

the idle speed is 750 rpm

 

i also saw up to 98

i can remove it to show the thermal paste later if you wish

that cooler itself seems to be the issue, looks worse than a stock intel cooler

its weird because it was performing great until today

cant really explain why your temps were better before tho

could it be my power supply? i just installed that like 2 days ago

[Bimyself]

Just now, CrownieOG said:

In my opinion no, it should be helping even more because its used as an exhaust. 

ill put the old one back in just to see if it helps

welcome to the world of stock Intel coolers.

i reinstalled the old psu, the hottest i got is 87 degrees, which is still hotter than usual, but way better

got 90 degrees, its not really any better

A proper CPU cooler would make all the difference in that situation, even a $25 tower cooler. 

 

What is the rest of your setup like for intake and exhaust? I'm betting there isn't much ventilation going on.

i have a single 80mm exhaust fan, with a case with poor airflow lol

Wow, and you're wondering why your temps are bad. 

 

With a modern case with proper 120mm intake fans + a $25 tower cooler you'd probably drop the CPU temps by 20c or more.

my temps were reasonable before today for some reason

i would still like to control my fan speed, is there any software that does that?

the case doesnt make a difference, it performs almost the same with the side panel off

That points EXACTLY to the weak CPU cooler as the problem.

 

Removing the side panel essentially eliminates airflow as the problem.

Side panel removed, and CPU temperature remains the same.

 

Plus, if case airflow is a problem, your GPU would be affected too, yet it's sitting at 56*C in your previous screenshot.

Again, not case airflow issue.

 

The stock cooler Acer used is inadequate, and Acer is NOT the only one who does this...
