Hi guys,
If it matters to mention, my system is in my signature. Note that I use an ASUS motherboard (I think that might be the important part). And my CPU air cooling is the stock AMD fan. With that said, I tried using ASUS PC Probe II and SpeedFan to control my fan speed (just the CPU one, I don't need to control anything else really). But it doesn't work.
Note that in my BIOS there is a feature called Q-Fan, which allows me to set a temperature at which the fan will spin faster, and if that temperature isn't reached (I.E below it) then the fan will spin at around 60% speed (estimation) and remains silent and decently efficient at keeping the CPU cool enough to avoid over-heating problems.
Well, that feature works, but it doesn't work like I expected it to. What I mean is that if I set the threshold temperature at the minimum allowed, which is 51º Celsius, then as soon as the CPU temperature does hit the 51 degrees mark then the fan will indeed speed up, but it speeds up to 100%, to its maximum potential ! And that results in a very, very loud noise, and since it spins at 100% speed constantly as long as the CPU is at or above 51ºC then it means that I have to endure that noise during my gaming experience, and I prefer just not playing anything because it's so loud. It's very irritating, annoying and distracting from the games I play, the noise is loud enough to actually "get over", to choke all the sounds coming from my games.
That means I cannot use Q-Fan.
Well, I tried with and without Q-Fan in BIOS, and it never changed anything with either PC probe or SpeedFan, they never worked.
So, long story short, is there anything I could try other than the mentioned software above ?
