Hi, I just built a PC with a GA-H55M-S2H motherboard and a GZ-X2 case. The CPU seems to idle at a decent temperature (27C) with the fan at 1600 RPM but the case temp is 41C at 830 RPM according to HWMonitor. I haven't yet added an intake fan so as far as case cooling goes it is just the case's exhaust fan and the PSU fan. Therefore, I would expect the case fan to spin faster to compensate. Moreover, there doesn't seem to be any way to adjust the fan speed; the BIOS obviously spins it slow as well as EasyTune6. I would use SpeedFan but it doesn't seem to be reading temperatures correctly in this rig. Likewise with EasyTune, which says the CPU is running at 16C (which is cooler than room temperature).
So I guess my questions are:
1) Are these normal temperatures (27C CPU and 41C case)?
2) What software will most accurately read this mobo and the core i3 processor? HWMonitor seems the most realistic; CoreTemp, SpeedFan, and EasyTune6 all seem off.
3) Is it normal for the mobo-controlled case fan to only spin at 830 RPM like that? Is there some setting I missed in the BIOS to speed it up a little?
4) This is a home server that basically sits idle most of the time, but the BIOS had the CPU fan spinning way faster than necessary and it was pretty loud, that's why I installed SpeedFan and then later EasyTune. Any ideas for a tool to dynamically adjust the fans that will work with this mobo and CPU?
Thanks!!
