iF i PUT THE CPU FAN AT HIGH SPEED, COULD BE GET SPOILED?

Ghon19 · May 2, 2014

My CPU is getting really high temps, so in this forum people recommend me to put my cpu fan(COOLER MASTER HYPER 412 PWM) at high speed, and I did it, but not sure if that thing could damage the cpu fan. thanks for the answers

It won't damage it

It is designed to run at full speed. But the fact that you need to keep it at full RPM might indicate you have an air flow problem in your case. Or a dust condition.

What kind of temps are we talking about? Having an aftermarket cooler on it should not be giving you high temps, no matter your case/airflow.

thanks for the reply, well yeah thats what I say to, I´ve already changed the thermal paste, the cooler and a better case with 3 fans, but the cpu is getting hot, I mean when Im giving a hard use it gets really high(Im using the windows 7 gadget temperature CPU and RAM) when Im in gaming the cpu gets hot for like 1 min or 40 secs then go back to the normal way for 5 min and again gets hot for 40secs-1 min. is really annoying deal with this.

My motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-h61m-s1 rev. 2.1, socket lga1155
Case: Cooler Master Storm Scout 2(with 3 fans: 1 at the front, 1 at the rear and 1 at the broadside)
CPU cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 412 PWM
Thermal Paste: The therman which cames with the Cpu cooler 412
Graphic Card: GTX 550 TI
RAM: 4gb HyperX Blue

THE TEMPS:
when im using google chrome or some basic program 0.5-12%
when Im in gaming: 30-40%(which is normal and i understand, even when gets close to 50%), BUT the problem is goes from 30-40% to 65-78%

Many people in this forum told me, it can be a airflow management, but Im not sure i think the problem is the CPU or the mobo, I really dont know

I recently bought those 3 things. 2 weeks ago. I bought it cause the cpu was getting high temps to with the old case/cpu stock fan/thermal paste(which I thought that was the problem)

Are you using CPU usage as temperature? I'm confused.

clutchc · May 2, 2014

Ghon19 :

Yes, let's see some of your high temps that have you concerned. That case and cooler should not be giving anything but great temps. If not, you may have a mtg issue with the CPU to heat sync. Or improper TIM application.

mmm I dont think so, the guy who put the CPU fan and apply the paste was a technician in this stuff

HiTechObsessed :

That gadget does not measure the temperature in Celsius?. Im going to check it with the HWinfo to

HiTechObsessed · May 2, 2014

As I said above, are you going by CPU usage, or actual temperature? Two COMPLETELY different things.

Ghon19 · May 2, 2014

HiTechObsessed :

actual temperature. Well the fact is when the meter goes to 70-80% the pc gets really slow :S

clutchc · May 2, 2014

Ghon19 :

Oh. You didn't do it yourself? Let's see the temps (in C) that you were getting.

THE TEMPS:
when im using google chrome or some basic program 0.5-12%
when Im in gaming: 30-40%(which is normal and i understand, even when gets close to 50%), BUT the problem is that the gadget of windows 7 (CPU meter ) goes from 30-40% to 65-78%

Many people in this forum told me, it can be a airflow management, but Im not sure i think the problem is the CPU or the mobo, I really dont know

By the way, that meter show me the usage or the temp?. Well the fact is when the meter goes to 65-78% the pc gets really slow :S

clutchc · May 2, 2014

Those aren't temps. Give us some numbers in Centigrade. Example: Run Intel Burn Test and watch the core temps with HWMonitor.

I have a feeling you are confusing core temps with CPU usage.

Maxor1 · May 2, 2014

The CPU meter when you hit alt+Ctrl+delete or use the gadget in windows 8 shows CPU usage. its calculating something when you see a high number, while there is some relation between CPU usage and CPU temp this is not a temp reading.

Ghon19 · May 2, 2014

clutchc :

Ok thanks for your patience, I discover that is not the temp, is the usage. shame on me

I mean, when Im gaming for example
the temp 39-41 totally acceptable, but the "meter of usage gadget" goes to 70. So, what can I do to solve that problem, buy more ram or what?

clutchc · May 2, 2014

Your CPU usage of 70 percent while gaming is fine. Great. Nothing to worry about. All that means is that the CPU is working at an acceptable level processing instructions. The temp is fine also. You are worrying over nothing.

Ghon19 · May 2, 2014

clutchc :

mmm ok but, if thats not the case why I have seriously drops when that meter goes close to 70 and when is between 30-40 I have smooth experience ?

clutchc · May 2, 2014

If your temps never go above 41C, I don't know. Usually that would happen when the temp went so high as to cause the processor to throttle. What CPU do you have again?

Ghon19 · May 2, 2014

clutchc :

i3 2120 3.3 Ghz

clutchc · May 2, 2014

That processor has a max operating temp of 69.1C
If you are getting near that, it may start to throttle. Re-check your temps when that happens.
