7 Volts setting?
I just learn that today...

speed fan cannot manually force the fan to run at max speed? anyway, nice guide. for variable speed fan can attach a variable resistor but becareful, you might burn one. its recommended to use a proper fan controller as circuit built controllers emits electric pulse rather limiting the electricity via resistor.

Actually there's no real benefit of getting the fan run that lil bit extra. A few extra rpm wouldn't make any difference. Besides, most fans are spec'ed to run at +/- 10% of the stated rpm.

Uhhh...
Who says so man?
My Hyper 6+ , runs at motherboard ranged speed = 42celcius...
when set to highest speed = 40celcius...

Who says it won't make any difference?
Even if the difference is low, it does make a little difference in the temperature...

Uhh...
Why are u trying to ruin this thread?

Don't get me wrong.. I'm not trying to ruin anything.

I think it's great that you share and I'm doing the same as well. I've mucked extensively with hardware especially fans and killing/dissecting a lot of them in the process as well.

2C is huge..and there's no way there that much difference from a hundred rpm or so.

Though I'm not familiar with your board but in all likelihood, you've must've had thermal monitoring and/or power management enabled hence the fan's being purposely slowed down for quietness purpose until a certain threshold is breached.

Try plugging the cpu fan into another header like the chipset fan header or the casing fan header (or if you know which one that's not thermal monitored) and let us know.

Edit: Is your QFAN control enabled?

Qfan?
Turned off...

What about Asus probe?

Software Cooling setup and smart fan control?

Umm...
No also...

By the way, i've read my processor temperature with using a PC Wizard...

Just wanna clarify.. ur siggy says ur using a Hyper 6+ with the 4pin connector. How come the pics are using standard 3pin females?

Also found the reason why there such a big temp difference. Ur 100mm Hyper6 fan is pwm controlled (4pin) so when plugged directly into the mobo header, it'll just run at it slowest speed at 1800rpm

And you could short them to run them full speed at 3600rpm.

Hahaha...
Yes, i'm using a hyper 6+...
But that doesn't mean i only have one heatsink lying in my room...
I have a lot of intel 478 heatsink...
The one i'm using for this thread is an ACER OEM heatsink for my oldskool 3.0D processor...

Ok..my last post in this thread ok. Again, my purpose is just to clarify things.

- My guess is that ur 2C difference is because of the Hyper6+'s 4pin pwm peculiarities which was stated in coolermaster's website.

- All the motherboard headers when running without any software intervention outputs 11.XX V which is close enough to 12V. Hence the fan run's at most 10% slower than rated speed.

Finally, would be great if everyone could give it a shot and report in on the findings. That'll be cool. Cheers..

Hey sniper, seems like we're two were the only active in this thread...

I still remember a fan that my roomate bought. a 10000 RPM Cooler Master I think. Imported. We tested it by pluggin it in and putting it on the floar. It floats........

10000RPM???

What the heck?
Where did you find that fan?

i know sunon and deltas can reach such speed but most of them are either 80mm or smaller fans.

copper heat sinks are generally suck more heat out of the processors faster than alu hs. so generally the faster they are better heat conductors. alu is more on the downside but alu can be ultilized as passive cooling. thats the plus side.

threadstarter can also draw out a switch diagram to switch between highspeed and low speed.

it's pretty normal for mini fan like 40m ones to have that kind of speed.
coz they are used in 1U servers and they must have super pressure.....
last time i sold the ones that runs at 13,500rpm.
just imagine 40mm fan can give 23.5cfm. 40mm give output of 80mm fan, so the rpm must be damn fast

i will send out your screws today

........

That is so cool man imagine you got LEDs on that, you could house it in transparent case and show ur frens

Shawty:
Thanks for the fan tip, made me reconsider buying a CM Musketeer (of course thats not the only reason i want one...)

???
If you're going to buy a musketeer, go to ALLIT hypermarket at Lowyatt plaza...
That's the shop which offers the lowest price for a CM Musketeer...

Ehh?
No one interested on this thread anymore?

Or does everyone see this thread as unuseful?
