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.gatew...015322Rnv.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
