Hello everyone,
After a week of searching on forums, etc...
I am looking for a software that allows me to increase the speed of the CPU fan; in order to overclock my 2600+ to 3200+, which I know is possible but not without good cooling, hence the need to increase the fan speed.
Knowing that I do not want to spend a dime. Neither for another fan nor for anything else.
Is there a software that exists to do this?
My setup: Athlon XP 2600+ Barton (Socket A(754)) on a Gigabyte GA-7n400 Pro with 1GHz of RAM and an ATI X800 Pro (overclocked by +100 MHz for the GPU and +75 MHz for the RAM)
Knowing that the fan is in perfect condition and not noisy (noise does not bother me).
From the BIOS, it is not possible, I have already checked.
Thanking you in advance

Ok first, on a recent motherboard, there is always an option FanQuite, FanControl, or some other speed adjustment setting based on temperature. The name depends on the boards, but it's there. Then, I see only one solution: Unplug the fan cable, it has 3 wires. Yellow, red, and black. The yellow one is the speed sensor. The red and black ones are the fan's power supply. You just need to force the fan power supply to 12V by connecting it to one of the motherboard cables. On the Molex connectors, which power DVD drives and hard disks, the +12V is the yellow wire, and the associated ground is the nearest black one. Then connect the red wire of the fan to the yellow Molex wire and the black to the black next to it. Do a test. If the fan spins, perfect, you can go ahead :D
If it still doesn't spin fast enough for you, you can always try to buy a small external transformer of 15 or 18 volts, it doesn't cost much. Or you can look around your house, I'm sure there’s one lying around (old answering machine, old electric train, or anything :p)
The only software capable of adjusting your fan speed are proprietary, so if there isn’t any provided with your motherboard, no one can help you. Moreover, this software is rare on regular motherboards; these options are more common on laptops but rare on PC motherboards.
There you go, happy tinkering :D

Hi Meta
The ideal situation for you, it seems to me, is to connect your fan (or several) to a rheobus like this one: http://www.presence-pc.com/tests/Coolermaster-Aerogate-II-96/ (there are some not very expensive) that can even be placed in a 5"1/4 bay. You can then adjust the fan according to the speed or temperature you want (when they are equipped with sensors). For three or four Euros, you can also use Zalman's Fanmate (http://www.presence-pc.com/prix/8971.html) which does pretty much the same thing).
Ciao!
p.s.: I agree with 3x. Don't forget the risks you're taking. A computer can break easily.

LOL no, I hadn't seen that, thanks for pointing it out. Otherwise, do you have something to control the speed of the CPU fans? It's impossible to adjust them with SpeedFan; they don't slow down at all. I need a software that is compatible with my AMD Sempron 2400+. Thanks.
Hi Myers
Generally, you need to check the software that came with your motherboard, like AI Booster, if Speed Fan doesn't work: some motherboards have very few functions to adjust these speeds. Otherwise, there is the solution of the rheobus.
Bye!

P.S.: I agree with the two previous interlocutors, be careful, all overclocking is risky, especially on an AMD... Although I've never had any problems, but I use WaterCooling, which is definitely more effective than ordinary cooling, especially thanks to the inertia of the system; under full load, I've never exceeded 35°C. And I've been running my P4 3.06 @ 3.6 for 3 years now, it hasn't budged :p So still be careful :p
Oh, one last detail, if you overclock, do it step by step, because a processor needs to break in (I can already hear everyone screaming, but yes, it's like an engine, and I think from memory that the concept is called Electromigration...)
So take it slow :p

Thank you for your relevant responses.
The processor is already broken in as it has been running at 3200+ without problems for over a year, but the temperature has only been increasing, hence the need to increase my fan speed.
I'm not new to PCs; I've had the same issue before, but I had the solution of increasing the rotation speed, so it was nothing simpler to mitigate the rise in temperature; whereas now I can't adjust anything. Neither in the BIOS nor with the Gigabyte NTune software.
I will first opt for a Zalman fanmate given the very low cost; then, if that doesn't work, I'll try connecting it to a molex. Thanks to Steelz for these clarifications on the subject, and thanks to everyone.

If the temperature rises gradually, it might just be that dust is accumulating. When your computer is cold (to avoid thermal shock, send a few bursts of compressed air into the fan (while preventing the blades from turning to avoid breaking anything). You can gain several degrees this way.

Hello,
I have a problem with my ASUS A7T laptop. When the computer overheats, the screen goes black and becomes unreadable. I bought a tray with a fan, which has improved the use of the laptop. Despite that, the CPU temperature remains high. I installed CPUcooler, and it indicates an average temperature of 72°C. Is that normal?
Could someone help me fix this little issue?
Thank you for your answers.

Hello,
I have a 6800 Ultra graphics card. The problem is that the fan speed is reduced as the temperature rises.
How can I increase the fan speed???
My setup:
Athlon 64bit 3500+ (overclocked to 2.75GHz)
1.5GB of RAM
Asrock motherboard (escrock :p) dual SATA 2 (for AGP + PCI exp 16x)
Power supply 580W Maxin Power

it's totally not normal that your PC heats up like that, my processor has never exceeded 40°C. If I understand correctly, it's a laptop, don't place it on yourself or on a bed because it needs to breathe, put it on a table or something flat.
If that's the case, be very careful, remove the dust inside, and if you can slow down your processor speed, do it. 72°C is way too much.
Otherwise, put yourself in your fridge LOL.
Anyway, something needs to be done. Have you ever tried underclocking? It's the same thing as overclocking but the other way around.
I recommend if you leave your PC running at night to do that, so your fans slow down since there's no more heating, and thus less noise.
bilou:
A tip to avoid overheating, put it in water (lol)
I'm joking of course, otherwise limit the overclocking with 2.75GHz, you don't need to overclock unless for fun, of course, but you shouldn't play that game, it can cost a processor after all.
I have a Sempron 1.67GHz, I don't overclock it and it runs games that require 2.2 without any problem. So no need to overclock.
I hope my advice will be useful to you.

You have a program called SpeedFan that works very well and allows you to modify the speed of your fans, monitor your temperatures, and even be set up to automatically change the speed of the fans when you launch a big game, for example.
After that, if you want your fans to move more air, you need to change them for more efficient ones. You can slow them down when you don't need to ventilate at full capacity.

I have proof!

That's what I heard. Regardless of the type of processor, if the temperatures exceed 80°C, it's not good at all; if it reaches 1000°C, it's fried.
You've been lied to: it varies according to the type of processor. Read this: http://www.commentcamarche.net/faq/sujet 160 the processor overheats temperature problem
Note that this does not mean that a processor will not function at a higher temperature (even at 100° for a while) but that it was not designed for that and that the number of processors that have problems at these temperatures is much greater. The lifespan of the processor, but also of the motherboard will be reduced accordingly.
Best regards!

Hello,
I'm looking for a tweaker to increase the fan power of my graphics card, processor... I have an ATI 1950.
Thank you for your help.

Hello, thank you in advance for your help. My problem is that my fan keeps making noise. My computer is an HP Compaq NX 9005. Thank you for your response.
Hello
Start by cleaning everything with a can of compressed air!
A dusty fan makes a lot of noise!
If that's done, you should check the temperatures and lower the rotation speed if possible, or reinstall a better fan if necessary!
