Cpu Fan Speed

[abu_has_the_power]

i want to change my cpu fan speed. it's at 2860rpm now. i think it can go higher. how can i change the rpm?

Replace it with one that has a higher speed.

Just remember that the faster you go the louder it will be.

loud is not a problem. just want to reduce my cpu temp a bit. rite now, after oc to 2.6, its at 40 half loaded. idle is like 37. want to lower it to around 35. i'm pretty sure u can change fan speed, like a rheobus, but using software

how do i mount a 120 mm case fan to the cpu's heatsink after i removed my current one?

Use a fan adaptor. http://www.klboard.ath.cx/index.php?showto...&hl=fan+adaptor

u think i should make 1 or buy 1? cuz they'r sold on newegg and some other places

Your choice.

If you want a fan with variable speed, you want to get the coolermaster Aero 7
