How do I adjust fan speed in my bios and if this is at max speed I have the same temp as my stock intel cooler what is the problem

It is different depending on your BIOS. You should check your manual. Most likely it is set to an auto setting by default.


You could adjust it from inside Windows with a program like this: Speedfan

speed fan dosn't work and I have my manuel and it says nothing about it I think I might have a bad heatsink.

[Titan8990]

What motherboard do you have? Also what are your temps?

I have a ecs nf650islit-a
I am getting 36C idle 43C at load stock speeds

Thats the same as my stock intel what is going on this sucks also I have the antec 900 so good airflow and I pought the dot of ars5 and it made a circle so that had to be enough

Hi there,

From my understanding, it wouldn't be worth adding an aftermarket cooler (such as the Arctic Cooler in question) unless you are overclocking. When you start overclocking, the Arctic Cooler should start showing its better side, allowing you to hit higher overclocks whilst keeping stable.

Alternatively, I've had some friends who've added an aftermarket cooler simply because:

• It looks better
• It's quieter

Cheers

Which way was is the fan facing when you installed it?

[mdsniper7]

i am just getting a new one

[Titan8990]

It's not worth your time to determine if it is another issue or not?

Personally, I would be really upset if I bought/RMAed a second cooler only to get the same result.

well newegg is overnighting me a new one so why not try its free

[Titan8990]

How did ya manage that?

When I had to RMA RAM on newegg I had to ship it there first and didn't get my RAM until the next week.

[mdsniper7]

this said because it was under 50 bucks they would just send a new one for free and I could do what i please with the old one

When you are not overclocking, the CPU will not have a high heat output because you have not increased the voltage applied to the CPU. You are not going to see temps much lower then what you posted. If you wish to drop temperatures further I suggest you do the following.

• Clean up the case wires
• Add some case fans
• Lower temperature of the room or move the PC away from a heater if it's near one

Also, double check to make sure it is installed correctly. You never answered my question earlier about which way the fan is facing.
