Controlling FAN speed on Speedfan

JHONO · 5 May 2008 at 20:07

Recently got both fans working, one a YS-Tech 120mm 105 cfm and a another 92mm side case fan 2500 rpm 55 cfm. The 92 mm fan is currently running at 1500 RPM since connecting it to my motherboard, so its more quiet.

I Was wondering if fan speeds can me manually controlled by speedfan? ive only heard that speedfan controlls the fan speed when temps go up such as when gaming, but is there anyway the fans can be manually set?

Also any idears guys on how to configure speedfan properly?

Thanks

Yes, install Speedfan then read the very detailed guide it includes.

Here's a quick guide I did on how to configure the CPU fan speed. The principles the same for a case fan, as long as the fan is connected to the motherboard and the motherboard supports varying speeds via the header.

Open Speedfan and click on the configure button. On the Temperatures tab, click on the entry that corresponds to your CPU.

At the bottom you're now given the option to enter desired and warning temps. CPU-Z will run your fan speed at the minimum speed (we'll set that up in a minute) until your temp goes over the desired temp, then it will increase the fan speed to the max fan speed value (again, we'll enter that in shortly). When your temps reach the max temperature value, your fan speed will automatically go to 100%.

Now click on the Speeds tab.

Here you set your minimum and maximum speeds for the CPU fan. Just click on the entry that corresponds to your CPU fan to bring up the min/max options at the bottom. Make sure you put a tick in the Automatically v4riated box!

Now click on the options tab.

Here, put a tick in the minimize on close and the start minimized boxes.

Now press ok and your back at the main SpeedFan page.

Here, put a tick in the Automatic fan speed box and now you should be correctly set up for it to run at a fan speed you like, but the speed will automatically change to higher speeds when the temperatures rise.

If you want SpeedFan to start with Windows, put a short-cut to SpeedFan in your Program Startup folder.

You do not need do any of that to do what he asked, Manual Adjustment of Fan Speed.

Again I was not being cheeky or lazy when I stated there was a very detailed guide that installs with Speedfan.

Is there any other software that i can use to manually configure my fan speeds since speedfan is to complicated to be honest?

Thanks

Speedfan is NOT crap, you obv either dont have hardware it supports (doubtfull) or dont have a clue what your doing (your statement points to that).

I dont know how to work (fly) a 747, dont mean its crap.
