Re: What should my fan RPM be? The temperature staying at 38 has to do with the fan increasing in speed, right?
A larger heatsink/fan setup, say 120mm, will spin slower, but also it is lower pitched.
Now you don't say what fan it is, is it that CPU heatsink's fan? A case fan?
Do you understand a fan moves more air when it spins faster which cools better, so if the CPU works harder it warms up and the fan counters that, thanks to sensors, by speeding up.
Also, what software are you using for the temperature? Temp readings can be innacurate, partly due to sensing software errors.

Since the fan has been replaced, the problem has gotten worse.
I don't do anything that would tax the processor. I just surf the internet.
After one hour, the RPM on my fans are up to 3357 and 3456 from 2139 and 2985
Before, it would take hours to reach this speed.
I don't think it is a hardware issue.
BTW, in HWMonitor (the program I am using to monitor), the fans are labeled "CPU" and "Front" | |
| I don't know if this can help solve the problem.
When I put the computer into "Sleep" mode and then one second later, come out of it, the fan goes back down to 2,200 RPM (from 3,800 before going into sleep mode).
Could this indicate anything? | |
