How Do I Speed Up My Fans?

[Made In Canada]

I'm just going to keep it short. I want to speed up my case fans and possibly my CPU cooler or even my GPU fan if possible, however, I cant seem to find anything other than a download called "SpeedFan" but I don't know if it is legit or a virus waiting to happen (and I would think there is a different way to do so like through my motherboard). Can anyone help?

 

PS my motherboard is a asus z97-a, fans are the NZXT s340 stock (FN V2), cpu cooler is a hyper 212 evo, and my gpu is a evga gtx 970 acx 2.0.

Nope. I used it myself. Also you can get external fan controllers. My case has one built-in.

With an external controller, you dont plug your fans into the motherboard, you plug it into the external controller. They usually have a little circuit board on the back of the case.

okay, well I guess I'm getting SpeedFan, Thank You for the help.

 

PS. would you happen to know how I can monitor my CPU and GPU temps without having to reboot and go into the BOIS?

Pick your poison style There are ton of software for that. Most common ones being HWmonitor, OpenHardwareMonitor and MSI Afterburner.

 

And you can't run fans faster than 12V/max rated rpm. PC hardware just doesn't do that without modding. And even then it isn't recommended and will damage fans.

Speed-fan will tell you your temps.

Favorite is Openhardwaremonitor as you can have a widget with selected values to monitor instead of alt-tab to see stats when running an app full screen,
