Hey guys i have the H87M-HD3 mobo and there is only place for one case fan their wich i can oc the speed of it but my other fans are plugged in the psu so where should i oc them to faster speeds?? and what speeds is normal for a 12cm blue led case fan?
 
The average speed of a 12cm or 120 mm fan is 2000 rpm +/-10%. some will go to 2500 but those are usually really loud. If your plugged into the PSU and there is no resistor in the power line then they will be at max speed. A resistor will look like a small bump in the power line.

i have an app center program from gigabyte and it says the case fan(plug into the mobo) spins at 834RPM and the settings is already at maximum speed and my cpu stock cooler spins at 2096 rpm? when its on normal standard settings the case fan spins at 460 rpm. What now?
 
The CPU if it has a stock cooler has a 90 mm fan so that one will have to spin faster to move the same amount of air. also some 120 mm fans that max out at 1200 rpm also. What fans do you have in there? do you know the make and model of the fans?

Yes it is coolermaster 120mm blue led case fan
 


the model is very important for us to look up the fan. CoolerMaster has many different fans so the model matters. If you can, on the back of the fan there are numbers on the sticker. you can look up the fan by these numbers OR if you give them to us we can help look it up for you.
