I just built my own computer, and I understand there are probably 100 threads about this, but the stock fan I got with my Core 2 Quad seems to be running at the same speed, no matter what I'm doing on the computer. It's the loudest fan in the case, without the noise it would be virtually silent. I adjusted a setting in the BIOS where the OS takes over the fan speed, but it didn't do anything. It's running at 1900+RPM, even when I put the computer in the "Low Power State" mode on Vista. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

CPU: C2Q Q9550
RAM: 4GB
MoBo: XFX nForce 750i SLI
GPU: nVidia GeForce 9500
PSU: 650W
Case: Antec 300 (5 case fans)

This is going to sound pretty stupid, but is the fan plugged into the right place?

nevermind. i changed the CPU fan speed target, or something like that, and made the minimum CPU fan speed 25%, extremely quiet now...

CPU: 38/39 C (100/102 F)
System: 33/34 C (91/93 F)
CPU Fan: 1100+RPM

Go in the bios power options. You can set this for standby:

S3 - Suspend to RAM (context saved to RAM)

In this state, your PC in standby and all fans, hard drivers and other devices are powered down into a sleep state. Power consumption is less than Five Watts.
