Hi all,

I have an Asus A7V266 with XP1500+ and use a Dragon ORB3 cooler. My problem is the noise of the cooler. The cooler specification is 7000 upm wit 35 db, this must be very noisy, but I thought the matherboard will adjust the fan spin and put it down in normal situations, in case of the cool has some cooling reserves. The CPU temperature is at 41 to 50 degrees, but the fan spin is continuous high, also on using Probe “smart fan” option. Does anybody know why the spin control does not work ?

Are you sure you've connected the fan onto your motherboard, my mobo can't support fans which such high amp.
Also a temp of 50 deg C is a high temp for a CPU running at normal speed.

You are right, I did a mistake, because the fan needs 0.5 A but the board support only 350mA, perhaps I destroyed the transistor. But the fan is still running with full power may bee there is an save circuit. Now I am still using a pre resistor (I got headache by bead noise), but I don’t know if it is beneath 350mA – I’ll check it. Thank you, for the hint.

The Dragon Orb 3 performs quite well (on par with the SK6), and is supposed to have a very good clip.

well regardless of what fan you have, some speed control is available with a rheostat.
(and 35dba isnt loud... u should try some of the delta fans that top out at 46-52 dBa!!!)

u can find a pic of a rheostat here
