Hello all,
Quick question regarding the fan speed control on my new PC. The components involved are:
- Intel Q6600
- Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3P
- 8GB Corsair RAM
- Zalman 9700 NT Cooler
- Vista Home Premium 64bit
I setup the new PC with all the components, left the "Automatic Fan speed control" in the BIOS to Enabled andControl Type on Auto. The CPU fan is constantly running at 1900-2000 RPM (quite loud).
When loading all 4 cores the fan speed remains the same (maybe raising 100rpm max). It seems that the motherboard PWM control is not controlling the fan?
When I set the Control Type to "voltage" instead of "PWM" the fan goes down to as low at 650rpm when the PC is idle, and kicks up to 1800rpm when the CPUs are in use.
I guess my questions are
- Can/should I set the CPU fan control back to PWM instead of voltage? Is there any difference in running one over the other?
- Any idea why the PWM control isnt working?
- Anyone else with a Zalman 9700 fan what is your RPM?
