Need some help, I'm getting a new CPU fan One of thoughs Volcano Fans by Thermaltake, GOD BLESS & put it in, cause at the moment my fan is running 2786rpm & temp is at 67 degress, my computer is working fine, but need temp to go done alot.
Will get the new Fan work? or is there a more cost effiecent way?
first off whats the cpu?
how did u attach the hs/fan to cpu?
whats volcano is it?
answer them and i bet i can point out what u have done wrong
Im running an AthlonXp 2600+ with the standard cooler on it atm.
It runs at 55Deg idle and 67deg under load.
But thats sitting under my desk and its Damn hot atm :D
I have an AMD Athlon XP 2500+ and it's fan is running at about 4200rpm.
It is now running at 37°C
My case itself is running at 27°C, that's with 4 fans on minimum, and 3 not on. It's not hot around here, about 20-22°C.
I will turn them all up later 8)
But yeah, your CPU, the fan (a link to what it is) would help us a little bit, which would then help you, cos we're a helping community, with people who help other people who need help.
AMD 2500+, I have 3 fans connected, & it is still running at 67*C, even with a CPU fan. this is annoying me so much, u guys have more stuff in your computers than me & still run at cooler temps, WHATS WRONG WITH MY COMPUTER, ARGH!!!
You have a thoroughbred core?
-edit- Make sure hsf is seated properly and you are using a good thermal paste say Arctic Silver - which now technically voids warranty.. Are you sure it is sitting on 67 degrees. Get a 3rd party soemthing like a digidoc and use that.. But mobo temps can sometimes be innacurate.
I'm using everything that is good quality, but that ain't the problem now, starting up the computer is the job. When ever I start up the computer, I does everything it usually does, then when it comes to the screen before Windows load-up, it says that
Prim. Master HDD S.M.A.R.T capability.....disabled
Prim. Slave HDD S.M.A.R.T capability.....disabled
Even when I go into setup, try to find the S.M.A.R.T, I can't find it, I've looked everywhere. This is annoying me alot. HELP!!!!
HDD SMART isn't too useful, other than if you want to find out info about your hard drive and when it's expected to blow up.
It's a BIOS option. Shouldn't be too hard to find.
Also Ive moved your thread over to the Hardware Discussion forum. Cool PC's is more on the enthusiast type of discussion.
