So yeah I have a nice Intel processor with a temperature controlled fan. The fan is supposed to step up its speed when the processor gets hot, and it used to very well. Ever since I came back to college this year, though, this piece of shit isn't doing its fucking job. I am thinking I should get an adapater and plug the proc fan into a molex connector and just try to make it go full speed all the time (6000 RPM on an 80mm fan). Its kind of loud when its at full speed but if that save it from 170 degree temperatures then I guess its worth it.
Anbody have any other suggestions that can help me? There no reason this thing should kick up its speed when the processor reaches 150-160, but instead it just sits at about 3200 RPM. Barely ever goes faster. I have the side of my case off and it speeds up to about 3400 under instense gaming, and with the case side on it just never speeds up at all. Maybe the temp sensor has gone bad...
Any help and suggestions appreciated.
