Re: Heat, CPU fan speed question

But why your CPU fan should be at 5000 rpm when the temp is only 45,
I have no idea.
It may be the motherboard. I notice that when my system is booting,
the CPU fan runs at full speed; only after the boot sequence is
complete does the speed-control feature of the motherboard kick in.
If for some reason speed control is disabled, the fan will run at full
speed all the time. Remember, the power for the CPU fan (and its
speed) comes from the motherboard, not the CPU itself.
