I have a Intel Core 2 Duo 6300 proccy and the stock intel CPU heatsink fan.
Now the problem is:
"The CPU heatsink fan spins only at 1200 rpm all the time. It has a 4 pin wire so fan control stops it from spinning at full speed. I even connected it to the 3 pin fan header on my Intel DG965RY mobo, now it spins at 1500 rpm. "
since the fan rpm is so low, the idle temps are around 50 now and load temps are around 55-60.
Now, i want a 3-pin header CPU fan for my proccy (LGA775 socket i guess). Since i can’t do any overclocking on my DG965RY mobo, the CPU is running at stock speed, so any el cheapo CPU fan will do.
The main requirement is that it should be a 3-pin header fan so that there is no automatic fan control and the fan spins at full speed all the time i.e. around 3000 rpm.
So please suggest a CPU fan according to my needs.
P.S: Please don’t suggest to disable automatic fan control. I have tried it and it doesn’t work on my mobo.
i dont know whether u can only change Intel CPU Fan without changing the Heatsink coz its build integrated u can’t put just any other high performance fan on it… just go any after market cooler with a good fan with low noise n high cfm… u can check here some of its
ya, since i am not doing any overclocking i don’t wanna spend much on it.
i might go to Nehru Place soon so i’ll try looking for some coolers. I just want to know if there are some options for cheap intel 775 socket heatsinks.
^ Get the CRUX P5M2 for around Rs 700. I had got mine for Rs 700 1 year back.
I’m running my c2d e4300 at 3.0ghz 24/7 with idle temps of 40 and load temps of 47 (In peak summers in delhi). It’ a efficient vfm cooler that has a silent fan with PWM control.
It’s PWM so it’ll have 4 wires, so i think it’s speed will also be reduced by my motherboard’s BIOS. I want a fan which has only 3 wires so that it runs at full speed all the time.
Move the RAM from slot 1 (and 3) into slot 2 (and 4), which will disable the Intel speed control without losing dual-channel configuration of memory. This is referenced in the user manual, take a look.
not yet yaar. NP is too far away from my place and my friend who will take me to NP is too busy.
ya, i know abt this but don’t know how to proceed. Earlier my CPU fan ran at 1200 rpm. Then i connected the 4-pin CPU fan to the 3-pin output fan header. Now the fan speed is 1500 rpm but still too slow.
What i know is that 1 wire is meant for PWM and 1 is meant for reporting the fan speed. Now, how do i know which wire is for PWM? and how should i cut it?
I think i need to cut the PWM wire and plug-in the remaining 3 wires in the cpu fan header, isn’t it?
and if i short the 2 wires i.e. PWM and fan speed wire, will i be able to insert it in the cpu fan header?
I think i already mentioned that it doesn’t work at all. That’s why intel’s motherboards suck.
Not sure abt this but looks interesting. Can u gimme a link for the same? I can surely try this out.
Just might help your case even if it runs at a lower speed than it should.
Bolt/screw down mounting an added bonus.
And maybe if that also ain’t enough, that fan on it may be swapped out for with any 80x25 mm fan witha 3pin connector. ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
is that info always on page 36? still i’ll check it out in the weekend.
it looks good but again it has PWM so i am a bit skeptical. Are you sure that the fan can be replaced by a 3-pin fan? Where can i get this Asus cooler? The deal is closed in the thread u mentioned.
BTW, this is a common problem with G965 intel boards:
You can PM and ask if it was sold or is still available.
From pics, it looks as if the fan is snapped into position on the fan bracket as in some stock AMD A64 coolers.
Also it appears that the fan can be snapped-in into an alternate position- though i haven’t been able to find any info on that as to surely possible or not and if so, why.
Alternately, borrow/‘buy for cheap’(to be returned if seller needs to sell or rma proccy)- a stock cooler for the Q6600 that might give decent temps even if the fan runs slow.
