My PC is quite noisy and is there any program tht could check the fan speed? e.g. front and exhaust fans graphics card fan etc?

thx

without a microphone you cant check the actual noise of your PC, but theres plenty of programs available to monitor the speed of your fans that are plugged into the motherboard. i'm pretty sure HWmonitor is the OcUK favourite for this, but im not sure if it does the graphics card.

for the graphics card fan go with MSI afterburner because it can do so much as well as monitor fan speeds. it is can take screenshots in multiple formats, record video + audio for as long as you like, monitor framerates and of course monitor your graphics card fan speed and temperature. its also arguably the best graphics card overclocking software out there

Brilliant thx mate, I'll HWmonitor and MSI afterburner and try this out.
 
Well I've just loaded into the BIOS and my CPU is set to cool n quiet. @Marine I think its called the AsusQ-Fan. Yeh I want to know the same as to wat nerobart said.

I just checked that the HWmonitor is on my mobo. can any1 suggeset wat needs to be changed? I'll upload picture now.
and basically I want to change which of the loudest fans that are causing the big noise.

Thx eddy does that apply to case fans or CPU cooler??




Here it is, is my CPU cooler meant to be going at 700RPM(Gelid Traquillo) thought there meant to be a bit slower?
and 1875RPM for chassis fan speed, too loud there?? o and mite I add tht my CPU+GPU is not overclocked at all

cheers

I've changed the Q-Fan from standard to quiet and the CPU fan is not at 721RPM wtf?

It's possible that you'll only be able to change the speed of the CPU fan. Any other fan attached may just have rpm sensing but no control.

If so there are several ways to lower noise.

1) Use a fan controller.

2) Fit a resistor/Zener diode to the noisy fan to slow it down.

3) Do the 7v or 5v trick.

4) Replace fan with a slower turning fan.

Thx mate might buy a fan controller then(would that be able to control all the speeds for case fans etc? my 80mm fan is rated at 1800RPM so tht shud a little loud nt sure about my 120mm front fan though.


Is 720RPM for a Gelid Tranquillo CPU cooler quiet? guess my problem is not that then since its very low. Fan Speed: 750 - 1500 RPM


thx

I reckon only buy a fan controller once you have confirmed that you can't control the speeds with bios settings or software. Speaking for myself I always prefer to know that my fans will speed up automatically when the temps increase. I bet I would always forget to twist the dial to increase speed. :)

Ok thx m8, Well in the bios the cpu fan seems to be the only one I can control, but the other features are for overclocking.

Right so I've eliminated the CPU cooler seems as that is the one that is hardly noisy.


Is there any great programs tht can monitor case fan? or even PSU fan?
gonna download MSI afterburner next to see my GPU fan speed.
 
Thanks for the help guys, well I've just ran speedfan and this is wat I got:

All the other speed are on 0%
and Speed 04 is on 5%
Speed 05 is on 100%
Speed 06 is on 100%
do I turn them all down to 0%?? im not sure which 1s they are for.

However I can confirm that my exhaust fan is over 1800RPM as I plugged the plug on that and it doesn't show up. But even with that off it doesnt make any noise difference as its loud as it was before.

I don't think it can monitor my 120mm front fans as the power is connected only thru 4 pin molex(would that be why?)
 
Thxs guys, Im gonna try the MSI afterburner and see what the speed of my GFX is at. thx PapaLazaru I'll have a try @ tht program. and I'll try ur suggestion eddyc :)
 
Update: Well I have decided to get two of the fans as replacement as they are loud and im replacing them with inaudible ones. Just wondering if I can turn the Fan speed of the GPU down in afterburner as thats making the most noise.
 
Well I've bought and fitted the Noctua 80mm fan as exhaust and Akasa yellow venom 120mm as front fan and what a difference they both make. 1300RPM between both fans.

I can hear tht my GPU is making the most noise. with that taken out. it was literally inaudible. I used afterburner and the fan speed was set at 50% which was so loud. I narrowed it down to 32%. would that be fine when playing games at full load??

cheers. cant stand the noise with the card.
