Intel Hsf

If you take your cooler apart there is usually a sticker on the fan that has info. Sometimes the speed is there but most not but you can get the fan model number and search the internet for speed info.

Abu, I can't help you there, but I wanted to congratulate you for your ebay skills.

With the temp sensor, its probably set to go up in RPM's at a certain Temp.

Can you change the circuit that all that stuff is on, the fan, and thermistor, etc, I know I can do that with my Volcano 11+,, but then again i use a speed control with it. But, the speed control is nothing more than a potentiomemter.

not quite sure wat u mean. but i think the rpm goes up, but wat i want to know is how far and when does it go up

i found this from cyberpowerpc.com
http://www.cyberpowersystem.com/highendsys...telfan_spec.htm
i'm having doubts that the fan goes up to 5000rpm. and it doesn't say at wat temp either. arg

Does your heat sink look like that? My Celeron Heat sink, (it was 2.2, Im assuming same one for the P4's, looked a bit different.)

Your fan can probably go higher, but it only goes higher when the temp raises, (which is why the thermometer is there.)

Abu, use a blowtorch on it. If the fan hasn't speeded up after 5 minutes, take it back, it's probably faulty.

un huh. u do that. prob is. my cpu idle temp is rising. it used to be around 34-36. now it's 37-39. not too much, but still high. i need a good hsf to cool it down. i might go and get a good hsf. btw, anyone wanna give me a guide as to how to remove this heatsink and not damage anything? thanks
