CPU hot, fan slow

[Alexkiss21]

Hey there,

 

I'm having a bit of an issue here, I've just replaced the thermal compound hoping that it would fix the issue with my temperatures on the cpu, but it didn't.

 

Is there any way I could tweak the fan speed? It's running at 500RPM while my CPU is over 80°C.

 

It's a Coolermaster X Dream i117.

SpeedFan didn't seem to work, also it's a mess what it takes to set it up.

Go into the bios and adjust the fan curve.

What are your temps?

[Alexkiss21]

Would be glad to do so if there would be an option. Only thing I could set was Q-fan control BUT ONLY to performance mode. Nothing else shows up besides that, quiet and middle-quiet mode. Nothing.

just go into the bios and change the fan performance setting

[FuzzyYellow]

Hmm...a what mobo do you have?

[Alexkiss21]

Hardware Monitor says my processor is at 93 degrees, while the "SYS" is around 40.

ASUS P5B

Try downloading a free 30 day trial of argus monitor and change fan speeds with that.

It works better than speed fan for me...

And the CPU fan rpm just dropped to 200 RPM while the cpu is at insane temps.

[nick99n]

maybe it is a false reading ? did you try other temp monitoring software ?

[Alexkiss21]

Realtemp does not support my cpu and bios says the same, when I boot it's around 60 and goes up to 100 right now.

Download and install this. http://www.argotronic.com/en/

After installing and running it, go to the main board tab and select fan control, change the list box for the cpu fan to manual. Then there will be a slider to adjust the fan speed.

That high of an idle temp sounds like a bad mount.

Are you sure the fan is connected to a CPU fan header and not a chassis fan header? These headers may be controlled by different temperature sensors.

Be sure the cpu cooler is clamed down securely on all four corners, then in the bios you should have some fan control options u can set, but if u plug your fan right into a molex connector, your fan will run at top speed constantly.  IF this is still an issue with fan at max speeds, you may want to get a higher CFM fan, and or better cooler.  Also be sure your case has good airflow.  If you take the lid off your computer, and the temps go to normal, your case needs better airflow.  To see if your cpu is clamped down correctly, check the cores.  If one core is spiking at 80C and the others are normal, one corner of your cpu cooler isn't clamped down.
