Hey all,

I am running an aftermarket Coolermaster Hyper TX3 to cool my AMD Phenom II X4 940 Black. The fan, when being monitored with AIDA64, never seems to change from 2700-2800 rpm, even when under heavy load. I went into my BIOS and sent the Minimum CPU fan speed to 87.5%, and still nothing has changed. Is there any reason why this fan doesn't want to speed up. I am not necessarily having problems with my temps, but I'd like to overclock my CPU a little bit, and while doing so I would also like to increase the CPU fan speed slightly, but I can't seem to make that happen. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

Tim

nevermind all, I just checked the specs for the fan on Cooler Master's website, and for this specific fan, the speeds listed are Fan Speed 800 ~ 2800 R.P.M. (PWM), so it looks like I am about at the max it will run anyway.
