fan speeds....

[Trendy]

I have two different applications telling me two different fan speeds. . . which one is right?

I have a Zalman CPN9500

most likely cpu health.

download the correct config for speedfan and see if they match up.

Id say 1700, so PC health. if it was 5k RPM, then it would sound REALLY loud. hear an annoying wine or nothing much comming from the cpu cooler? There ya go

 

[Trendy]

I figured, the Zalman website says this cooler has a 2500 RPM limit and I haven't changed any settings for it, so, I'm sure that it would have broken at 5000RPM after a month of use

Are you sure both programs are measuring the same fan?

Only one fan is hook up to my motherboard, so yes.

BTW - if you click on PC Health and then Settings, you can adjust the speed/temp relationships and get rid of those red triangles on the monitor page. You can also set alarms if the fan stops spinning (which can be annoying on boot as the fan doesn't start right away).

Smart Fan will also let you set the min and max speeds vs temp settings to optimize the cooling.

Yeah, I had the fan set below 2000rpm, now that it's up near 2200rpm, i'm getting idle temps of 24-26C, versus 30-34ish before.

You need to calibrate SpeedFan for your chipset by properly setting the FAN1 divisor setting under Advanced settings.

try setting it to 8
