Hello,

May I ask is this accurate ? I just got to replace my old stock heatsinnk from my Phenom ii x6 1055t and I change it to deepcool Iceedge mini fs v2 since the fan of my old heatsink runs at 6025 RPM
and now my deepcool is running at 2636 RPM but my question is this here:

The max value of the fan is at 168750 is that normal ? since im not using the old heatsink that came with the processor and that heatsink is loud as hell when im using it but with the iceedge its quiet. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

HWMonitor is known for not being precise when detecting fan speeds. I have exactly same fans on my rig, and it detects speed of one of them correct, but for the other one it shows about double real speed. The only sure way to know exact speed of fan is to check it directly in BIOS, assuming your board allows that (but most do).
