Has anyone had any problems with this fan?
The reason i ask is that i have just bought one and i'm really disapointed with it. First of all is bloody noisy and secondly it does worse than the standard fan i had there before when it comes to cooling.
I know the max rpm is 4800 but mine runs at over 5200rpm but if i go below this my temp goes up to 65. As well as that i have to drop my cpu voltage from 1.75v to 1.6v which is no good because i have an AMD Athlon XP2100+ (Palomino) which should be at 1.75v as standard. I have also had the fan sockets tested for the voltage output and they are fine so i am totlally at a loss at the moment and thinking of chucking it out the window.
I was hoping i would be able to overclock with this fan, this fan i think should easily be able do a small overclock as the palomino won't go above 1800mhz or so and this fan is suppose to to able to go upto an XP3400.
Any suggestions would be very helpful. I have tried to take it back to the shop but they have said there is nothing wrong with it but the above specs can't be right are they?
I forgot to add that i have 2 case fans as well, one on the front as the intake and one on the back as an exhaust but as for the make of the case i have no idea (i know its a midi tower), there are no places for fans on the side or anything just 2 places at the back (one above the other next to the usb sockets etc) and two next to each other at the bottom on the front of the case. The back one is placed below the cpu fan.
