Fan/Hyper

[slash1262]

when I turn on my computer the fan goes into hyper drive and doesn't do anything but blow.

Check the bios settings on your computer and see if it has temperature controls. If it does have that you can set the fan to rotate at different speeds depending on how hot it is inside your computer case.

Also make sure you have enough thermal paste on your cpu fan (remove the cpu fan, clean off the residual thermal paste and replace it with a healthy layer of new thermal paste in order to get good cooling efficiency from the fan).

Also make sure you have good airflow in your computer case. Have fans in the front that suck air inside the box and plenty of fans in the back that blow out the air.

If you have good airflow in your computer case, the fans do not have to operate at maximum capacity at all times and you can have them run on a lower setting. Good if you do not want the noise.

Some fans run at higher rpms than they have to be. You can replace them with fans running at lower rpm to reduce noise.

Key thing is proper airflow. Use more fans at lower rpm to reduce noise.
