More fans but cool and quiet gone funny?

Bobmunkhouse · 12 Feb 2006 at 11:52

Hi I have added 2 more fans to my system one 8cm intake and a 12cm exhaust but now the cool and quiet function on my AMD 3700SD is letting my CPU get to about 60c at load when it used to stay a 51c at load! The cpu fan seems to stay low rpm unless I open up core centre and check temps what has happened?

I have checked that cool and quiet is on and it is changing the fan speed but it just seems to be letting the cpu get a lot hotter.

Any help would be great

Thanks

I'd hazard a guess that the lower ambient/case temperature means the CPU fan doesn't need to spin up as high to keep your processor at a safe level, cool and quiet's main tasks are to keep fan noise and power usage to a minimum.

You're better off just disabling it tbh as when the CPU is under load it has no effect anyway.

But it used to keep the temp at about 50c now it gets to 60c is this safe?

Check in core centre, if you click on the text in the centre top it opens up the menu. Set it to manual and then set the slider to full fan.

Hmmm it seems to have sorted itself out now hmmmmm oh well im just going to leave core centre on so I can always check temps. What is a safe good temp for a AMD 3700SD with stock cooling?
