My cpu fan goes on forever!

[YourFace]

I know running the fan constantly will wear it out, so I'm wondering how I can reduce the rpm. So how do I reduce the fan speed? I have power saver mode on/ windows . Here is a recording of my rpm with the temperature via speed fan
Thanks guys!

Some computers will come shipped to clock the fan at 100% always, so you can just change it in the BIOS. I'm not sure what it would be under, but it should be on the left side of the menu.

The fan is meant to run constantly

The fan in your computer is meant to run constantly. If you have a laptop then the fan probably will change speed depending on how hot your computer is. If the fan is decent quality then it will not "wear out". Don't worry, its better to keep your computer cool, rather than have it overheat.

I agree, better to have it running, now if running it at 100% makes it too loud then that's different

also it depends on how the fan is wired in, it may not be possible to reduce the fan speed if it's hard-wired in without re-wiring it

Just because it says 100% over there, doesn't mean it's running at 100%.

It only matters if you've given SpeedFan control over the fan speeds. You do that by going to Configure, then the Advanced Tab, picking your chipset and setting the fans to "Software Controlled". Careful because it might set them to 0% until you set it back to where you want it, so be quick.

Looks like your stuff should be running faster though, 50c is not so great for idle.

I think he means that even when the computer isn't on, if it plugged in, or even on sleep mode ect, the fan will still run. A friend's old computer had this problem, very odd he scrapped the computer a while ago tho.


Idk if that's what the poster meant, but that's the first thing that came to mind for me....

Also bios can't change fan speed if it is running straight from the psu

Keeping your CPU cool is required for proper function of your computer.
