My Fans are running at Low RPM.

Fatu Cosmin · Feb 1, 2014

I recently bought a new case : Haf 932 Advanced , for my CPU becasue it is downlocking itself to 1.4 ghz due the mosfet heating up , well the Haf's 220 fans are running at extremly low RPM i actually put my hand infront of them and i couldn't feel anything like... 0 CFM , and yet they spin.. ( very slowly ) i don't know how to make them to run faster....they have 3 pin connect ( no PWM i think ) so..they should run at full speed?
- Thank you in advance

Fatu Cosmin :

were does the 3 pin connect to motherboard or to molex?

Fatu Cosmin · Feb 2, 2014

tried em both..same thing..if i plug the cable to the mobo..i get the RPM but..0 CFM as i said..i rather blow air myself

whats the rest of you're specs?

If you connected the fans to the motherboard, you'll need to go into the BIOS to change the fan speed. They normally have something like, Silent and Performance, pick Performance.....

OR, get a three pin to molex converter cable. Connect fans directly to your power supply using them. They run full speed all the time then. And, they move a TON of air......

PSU : 750W
CPU : AMD FX 8150 x8 3.6ghz Black editio
GPU : Gigabyte windforce x3 r9 270x
CASE : HAF 932 Advance
CPU COOLER : Anteq khuler 932 ( Water cooled )
MOBO : Asus M5A78L/USB3

Thank you guys for helping me ...i tried to plug the cables Straight to the PSU since the Haf's fans are 3 pin..those psu connectors are a 2 pin to molex kind of connector.. did i do something wrong? and , i didn't find anything in the bios for fans , shouldn't they run at full speed while...on PSU..? this is how i thought.. and they don't..still lowest CFM

i found the Q-Fan settins on my board and it was set to Turbo already

Fatu Cosmin :

so you're running 3pin fan on a 2pin connecter?

Fatu Cosmin · Feb 2, 2014

well...yea..but i plugged the fan into the mobo ( 3 pins ) and...same thing even if i change settings with chillcontrol ...either is silent or turbo..same thing happens

Fatu Cosmin :

does the cpu heatsink fan run full speed?

Fatu Cosmin · Feb 2, 2014

as i said..i am on a water cooling machine anteq khuler 932 ..and the pump is at about 3000 rpm which i think is fine..the cpu doesn't pass 45 degrees even on load. ( 50 degrees if i put another fan with the case open ( fan straight to the mosftets for no 1.4ghz throttle ).

Fatu Cosmin :

well its most likely you're fans may be bad try other 12v fans im very sure its the fans

jb6684 · Feb 2, 2014

You need a 3 pin fan to molex cable, like this one: (look at the 1st photo...)

When run directly off the PSU those fans move 110 CFM, down right windy.....

Fatu Cosmin · Feb 3, 2014

i have on my CPU's water cooler some..well fan-for plugs...with 4 pins and..same thing..if i put them there..same..but..if i put a smaller fan.. ( 4 pins ) there..it works like a charm

Fatu Cosmin · Feb 4, 2014

i've put the fan into another computer > same results

ModernWarfare · Feb 5, 2014

Fatu Cosmin :

like i said its you're fans. buy a replacement on pcpartpicker or any local computer stores that sell silent cooling case fans
