Re: P35C-DS3R CPU Fan issue

It's kind of stupid to reply to my own post but has someone else observed the same on a P35C-DS3R ?

Re: P35C-DS3R CPU Fan issue

My fan on my Sythe Ninja cooler doesnt run until the CPU reaches around 30C. The temps only go above 30C when under heavy load. During normal tasks the temp doesn go above 27C.

So yes, this is the norm.

My specs:
Antec P180 (Black)
Aerocool Turbine 550w PSU
Core2 E6320 (4Mb cache)
Scythe Ninja cooler
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R
2Gb Kingston valuRAM DDR2-667
Asus Nvidia 7300GS 256Mb Graphics
Samsung 250gb Sata-300
Maxtor 300gb Sata-300


Now overclocking at 2.3Ghz (27C idle - 47C load) - CPU undervolted to 1.3v

Yes, I run F5 too.

To be honest I have always updated to the latest BIOS (I started with F1) and the fan not turning until 30C has always been there.

cheers mate, so the likelyhood to toast the processor is nil.

I was a little concerned with the fan issue at first. But having monitored the CPU core temps for a few days they rarely went over 35C and the fan did seem to kick in occasionally (albeit at around 400rpm).

I dont have any worries. As long as your fan kicks in when under heavy load then all is fine.

For peace of mind I'd load the CPU and watch the fan RPM to see if it kicks in as the temps rise above 30C.

cheers
