Just 7v'd my fans and now temps have dropped LOADS!

harris1986 · 5 Apr 2006 at 13:19

I had to make a thread about how pleased i am, i have just 7v'd the fans in my case as i was getting annoyed with the noise. you guys may remember that i made a thread about getting higher than normal temps on my system, well after 7v my fans my cpu now idles at 28/29c and load temps after running prime and TOAST are 38c, and it's so quiet love it, for refference i have a panaflo m1a intake, thermaltake thunderblade on my TT big typhoon and a YS-Tech 120mm exhaust (thanks welshtom

)

Glad she shhh's now and temps have worked out a bit better

harris1986 · 5 Apr 2006 at 14:17

Sorry for the daft question, but how do you Volt Mod fans?

Ran a search but didn't come up with any "how to" info

Mikey1280 · 5 Apr 2006 at 14:25

Yewen's guide in case central

So how did going from 12v down to 7v drop temperatures???
Lol, I think I'm missing something

probably air flow.

What he meant was how does descreasing airflow make the temps drop...

harris1986 · 5 Apr 2006 at 18:46

in short i have no idea really :confused:

but i'm happy as hell with a 28/29c cpu idle and 38c load in near enough silence!

james.miller · 5 Apr 2006 at 18:47

maybe the faster fan at the back was starving the cpu fan of air. It's easily done.i'll say one thing though, 38c load @ 2.9ghz is virtually impossible running silent on air cooling. i'm doubting that reading tbh mate. especially when im 32c idle 48c load with my opty 148 @ 2980mhz using a scythe ninja

Drazic · 5 Apr 2006 at 19:08

I say you got the fan wrong way round yet even still

Ys tech at front as it's a heavy sucker so will getlots of cool air in there

harris1986 · 5 Apr 2006 at 19:27

well i have sent welshtom screenies and did set a automated log of temps, cpu wasn't at 2.9ghz for those i have nocked it back to 2.8ghz and 1.425v. the clock in my sig was pure benchmark material just haven't got round to changeing it

i have just bought another ys-tech 120mm so this puppy will go on the front of my case move the panaflo to my Typhoon

aaaaaah ok. that sound more reasonable lol. 120mm fans all round is sweet, isn't it? :cool:

chopchop · 5 Apr 2006 at 19:35

there is one reason why they could have dropped and that was that the airflow was unbalanced, ie; too much in, too little out. or the otherway round.

it really isnt. air turbulance could easily do it, like i discribed above.
