Turned my computer on this morning and my bios alerted me saying there was a problem with my cpu fan. So i looked through my window saw it was spinning and went into the bios. The CPU Fan bar was red (ASUS mobo) and the fan was spinning at 500rpm. I shut the computer down flicked the switch on the power supply and unplugged it it from the wall. Unpluged the cpu fan for a few seconds and plugged it back in. Turned the computer back on and checked the bios and saw the fan was spinning at 650 rpm. Didnt get the cpu fan alert again. Got the computer running now for a bit to see if the problem happens again but it has gotten me a little concerned though about the fan and temp now. I have the i5 2500k cpu and have not overclocked it yet. Dont plan to untill i picked up a seconds graphics card for sli, plus i need to read more about doing it. My cpu temp just idleing right now after about 15 minutes is 25c with the fan running at about 680rpm.
I have a hardware monitor i downloaded to run in the back round that tells me the high/low/average temps of everything in the computer while i game. Can someone give me an idea of what i should be getting for temps idleing and underload? Just so when i check i have a better idea of what i should be getting and if i should be concerned? The CPU cooler is only about 2 weeks old so it seems odd it would screw up like that. Thanks
Im going to go play some battlefield 3 for a bit and ill post again on what my high temps are.
