Fan Speed

I'm pretty sure I'm alright on this but I want to double check. I just replaced my Case fan,the old one was running at 2300 RPM's the new one is running at 1950 RPM's. When I booted up my computer,( bios) told me to check my fan connects ect. . I went into setup bios and disabled CPU fan speed and PC boots up now with no error and is nice and quiet. I have an HP XL 775,Windows Me,640 of Ram, I'm not a gamer,just use the PC for internet and instant messaging. Was it safe to disable the CPU Fan Speed,I think that was the only way to stop the error at boot up.

 

i don't think theres a problem disabling that, i've never had a problem and mine's always been disabled, i just let the 4 fans in my computer run at their own speed and it's cool enough in there, i'm getting readings of about 20c at the moment.
the more fans you get, the cooler it'll be, so don't worry about the setting in the bios. there is also software and hardware that can be used to control fan speeds.

 

Only problem I see is if the fan fails ... you don't know till your CPU starts fizzing.

Also, you checked the temperatures? Slower fan might mean it moves less air, you might want to check its not getting too hot.

 

Thanks to all,my temp is 32 C and its the same temp with the old fan that runs faster,,,,

 

Where are you getting your temperatures from? If it's BIOS no problem, but if it's motherboard monitor, be sure you're set to the correct mother board. I had it set wrong, and it was reporting nothing but 32, and when I corrected it, my temps were in the hundreds. I've only got power supply, and a stand fan, but that's not my point.
