CPU fan continues spinning rapidly despite high speeds.
Hello, welcome! I see you're dealing with some tricky cooling issues. Your current configuration looks solid overall, but the fan behavior under load is puzzling. You've tried several setups and still face high CPU temperatures despite good airflow. It seems the fan isn't adjusting properly when demand increases. Have you considered checking the fan's PWM settings or testing different fan models? Also, ensure your PSU can handle the GTX 970 power draw. Let me know if you want more specific advice!
Changing the header to one you control would likely alter how users perceive and interact with the content, potentially improving clarity or brand alignment.
Focus on reducing temperatures. Improve airflow through the system, lower room temperature, and consider upgrading the CPU cooler. The motherboard is handling things properly by increasing fan speed. Older processors lack the high operating thresholds found in newer CPUs.
It's my recently built setup. Well, i guess i gotta get a new cooler or save up for a new cpu or mobo. FYI, i used i5-3470 weeks ago, temps were fine, fan speed and control were fine. Thanks, and btw is my PSU powerful enough to run GTX 970? I'm not very fond with RADEON lol. EDIT: ArgusMonitor shows CPU_FAN at 0RPM but SYS_FAN at 1.5k RPM.. wtf? I plugged the fan onto CPU_FAN header
