Firstly if you are say using a Stock Intel HSF (Heat Sink Fan assembly) and the bios is set to Auto for pwm fan control, it is quite normal for the newer Intel HSF fans to vary anywhere between 850 - 2300rpm, depending on how hot your CPU is.

On the second point, re "System Fan", have you got a fan connected to that Header on the motherboard?
If you have, look at the PC health Bios screen (ie go into the bios) and see what that reports, speed wise.
You need to do this as some utilities (especially those produced by the Motherboard manufacturers), have a "cut-off" below a preset RPM and won't report anything below it.

Re: easytune 5 problem

So? Do you for sure have a fan connected to sys_fan. Depending on the board there may be a few Sys-Fan headers

Your Motherboard is fine - forget about what EasyTune says.

As I said above EasyTune and manufacturer utilities like it, have a dislike for low rpm fans and just because they are running at a low rpm they ignore them alltogether and often report zero (rpm)!

Re: easytune 5 problem

Did you adjust the limit for the fan to just below where it runs? It's the slider bar above the actual RPM read out.

Re: easytune 5 problem

ahh ok so basically i just have to raise the rpms ok hmm wats an advisable rpm?will 2500 do?or is it high enough?

Re: easytune 5 problem

there is a side bar above the rpm read out?hmm im checking the rpm at pc health>hardware monitor and i dont see anything

well thanks for the replies guys really appreciate it

Re: easytune 5 problem

o ya umm one last question how do i set the rpm of the fans?coz wen i restarted my computer i checked out the easytune 5 and it went back to default settings how do i make it permanent?

Re: easytune 5 problem

Are you haveing problems with the computer or is it just Easytune 5 readings that are bothering you? If the computer is working well and nothing is overheating then I probably wouldn't worry about Easytune or your fan speeds.

Rather than use Easytune (for monitoring), try:-
HwMonitor or PCWizard from CPUID
or
Sisoft Sandra:-
SiSoftware Zone
or
Speedfan:-
Almico's Home Page
or
Everest
Lavalys - Comprehensive IT Security and Management

Re: easytune 5 problem

I'm assuming it's like easytune 6 - if so there's a pointer above each fan bar and one below - the upper one is where the alarm goes off - should be set at a number below the actual read out of the fan which is below the bar. example - if the actual fan RPM is 1500, set the alarm point at say 1300.

Use the Save button, not the LOAD button. Then if you have ET set to run at startup your settings will be applied at startup. Not really sure what you are asking here either. You should get a fan controller if you want to control your fan speeds yourself though. You can get them pretty cheap, if you want me to show you a few let me know

Re: easytune 5 problem

oh crap hehe sorry guys im soo stupid hehe i taught that u can change the rpm of the fans by using the Easytune hehe my bad well thanks anyways yeah i think i might be getting a fancontroller know any good brands?thanks for the replies guys and thanks vorlonUK for the links
