sooo much noise

Hello All,

So for some reason my fans run at full speed all the time, never slowing down. Ive tried speed fan, and it says there is now fans what can I do? I cant take this anymore

 

Some motherboards wont let you detect or control the fans, some aftermarket fans have a control of their own, until then. ed

 

dsfagskasd this really sucks do I really need to have any fans

 

Might be a good idea to keep some, how many have you running?

 

one in the front, one in the back, the little Intel one, and Power supple fan. All running at full speed

edit

they dont even go off when I put the computer to sleep :|

 

Yea, thats normal, ear plugs are cheap, or get louder speakers so you can drown out the fan noise. Not many fix's to offer. ed

 

thats what I thought you would say. Thanks for your help.

 

You DO have some options here... you can try to identify the noisiest fan, and replace it with a quieter one. Usually, you'd have to match the size of the noisy fan with the quieter replacement, though sometimes, you will have room to install a larger fan. As a general rule of thumb, a larger fan will run slower, and therefore, QUIETER, than a smaller fan spinning at a higher speed.

Read this article for some good basic advice:

Here are links to two websites which might help you:

Lots of good information on both of those sites...

Keep in mind, I NEVER recommend that anyone try to replace PSU fans; the danger of a serious electric shock is VERY real, and not worth the risk. At your age, I'd advise you to simply buy a new PSU for your system, one which has been designed to be quiet, if the PSU is excessively loud...

Not dumb at all, run this, lots of info.

http://www.majorgeeks.com/EVEREST_Free_Edition_d4181.html

 

ok, Thanks for the site I have a tyan s1854 (-a) (really olddd) but I cant find any info on their website to see if I can or can not change fan speed. and help?

 

Heres what i found,

http://www.active-hardware.com/english/reviews/mainboard/trinity-400.htm

 

Another link but i dont think your fans will be controlled,

http://www.tyan.com/products/html/trinity400_spec.html

 

SO I wonder how I am able to see if mine supports this...


[edit]

damn. meh it's s'ok, Im getting a new computer soon, I just wanted to see if I can tone it down until than. thanks for all your great links/help!

 

Now that you've installed Everest, you should be able to use it to check the speed of some of the fans in your system... look through the various hardware / component categories, and see if Everest can find any information about any of the system fans. If any of your case fans are attached to the motherboard headers, Everest should be able to tell you the RPM of that fan...

 

see thats the weird thing, all the fans are connected to my motherboard, its just that they don't show up in any program.
