Fan Speed not changing on load


Recommended Posts

Ok so I was having some framerate problems with some games couldent figure it out. seems to be better*

Other night I Decided to clean my computer out without the use of compressed air and cleaned everything with a paper towel and alot of Qtips (dry).

I unscrewed the the 2 fans my computer has and cleaned them pretty good and heatsinks all the ram and grafix card. I also Qtipped all connectors and all around the motherboard and capaciters. (stayed grounded to chassis during everything)

Why fan speed not Increase with load. Like backing up games on steam Was all power to backing up and now no change at all in fan speed or anything. Did I miss somthing when I was Doing this I know I got case fan backwards and flipped it back around and thats it.

Second random Question I have This computer was a store baught one from a few years back the manufacurers website says

Does that mean the limit of what the hardware will support or the OS it came with support originally had 32bit vista

Memory Support Four DDR2 800/667/533/400 MHz SDRAM slots

Support up to 4 GB system memory

Depends really, doesnt vista only see 4gb under 32bit? Not sure on the hardware capabilities as you havent mentioned what computer you have etc.

Has the fan ever gone on full under load? If it hasnt there might be an option in the bios to set the limit of it, not sure though.

It has on plenty of occasions before I cleaned it out Mostly when backing up files on steam or

http://support.gateway.com/s/PC/R/1015322R/1015322Rnv.shtml is my computer as well just upgraded psu to a 410watt to support an upgraded grafix card of an nvidia 450gts

Using core temp to watch it and it hovers around 40C

Will post test with load tester

You honestly can't expect us to help you with what you have just posted, right? Please provide at least some sort of detail - for starters, your system specs.. Second, are the fans hooked up to the motherboard, or the power supply (PSU)? Also, do they support PWM?

If they're hooked up to the motherboard, and support PWM, try using a program like SpeedFan. If they're hooked up to the PSU, they'll run at 100%.

Ok I got it load tested cpu fan responded although temp got to 62C before I Stopped the test lots of stuttering as well

Case fan did not swapped it and it worked must have killed the Original one.

Speed fan didnt affect the speed of any fans in my computer unfortuantly

    • And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂

    • This Dell 27 inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor is really cheap after a very long time by Sayan Sen Recently we covered a really good deal on an AMD RX 9070 three-fan model that's available at slightly above its MSRP. If you are looking for a GPU for 1440p gaming that's around the performance of the Nvidia RTX 5070 you should most definitely check it out. Let's say that you are looking for a monitor to pair that up with too. The Samsung 49" G9 curved QD-OLED superultrawide is a good option that can provide an immersive experience. However despite being a very good deal currently (at $855), it may seem unaffordable to you, or you may simply not want to spend as much on a monitor. In that case Dell's S2725QS can be a very good option as it's on sale at the moment for its lowest price in over six months (purchase link under the specs table down below). The big highlight of the Dell S2725QS is its 27-inch IPS panel with a 3840 x 2160 (4K UHD) resolution, offering a high pixel density that can make text appear sharper while also providing plenty of screen space for productivity and media consumption. The display supports a refresh rate of up to 120Hz through both HDMI and DisplayPort, making it suitable not only for everyday desktop use but also for smoother gaming and scrolling. AMD FreeSync Premium support is included as well, helping reduce screen tearing during gaming sessions. The screen has fairly good brightness and color accuracy so you can use it for general work purpose, though photo/video editing is probably not going to be the best match for this. The technical specs of the Dell S2725QS are given in the table below: Specification Value Viewable Screen Size 27 in (68.58 cm) Screen Mode 4K UHD Maximum Resolution 3840 × 2160 Maximum Preset Resolution 3840 × 2160 @ 120 Hz Standard Refresh Rate 120 Hz Panel Technology In-plane Switching (IPS) Backlight Technology LED Edgelight System Pixel Density 163 PPI Response Time 8 ms GTG, 5 ms GTG, 4 ms GTG Horizontal Viewing Angle 178° Vertical Viewing Angle 178° Brightness 350 cd/m² (nits) Native Contrast Ratio 1500:1 Color Support 1.07 Billion Colors Color Gamut 99% sRGB (CIE 1931) Adaptive Sync AMD FreeSync Premium HDCP Support Yes Mount Type Panel Mount VESA Mount 100 × 100 mm Maximum Height Adjustment 13 cm Tilt -5° to 21° Swivel -30° to 30° Pivot ±90° Stand Adjustments Tilt, Swivel, Height, Pivot Glass Hardness 3H Horizontal Frequency 27–270 kHz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Vertical Frequency 48–120 Hz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Video Inputs 2 × HDMI 2.1 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3), 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3) Operating Temperature 0°C to 40°C Storage Temperature -20°C to 60°C Operating Humidity 10%–80% (Non-condensing) Storage Humidity 5%–95% (Non-condensing) Get it at the link below: Dell S2725QS 27-inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor: $218.49 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $280) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
