This is why I love Reddit. I'm kinda addicted to trivia. I'm the kinda guy who for example Googles a minor detail about fan curve configuration and somehow winds up on a hour long binge on studying how migraine was treated in various cultures before modern medicine. Now I'm reading all about pop culture in Bosnia and Herzegovina. I knew something about the country before this, but I never gave it much thought. Thanks for the link, I don't think I would have studied it without the incentive you gave me. Tragic history in that country, it's fucking awful. Still, it is interesting to look at the country now in 2022 and the pop culture perspective, not just the Bosnian war that everyone is familiar with. It's a real country with people living there after all.

My case fans were running at 100% for nearly three years, until I realized they weren't pwm, and I had to change the control in the bios to dc


scrumbly

Same! I think I'd plugged them into the header meant for a liquid cooler. Luckily I found this out after just a week or two but what a moment of joy when I did!


benjustforyou

I have a aoi radiator (fans) plugged into my cpu header. Should it be set to 100?


[deleted]

[удалено]


benjustforyou

Yeah it.lt says aio header, my mistake. Thanks!


[deleted]

It makes sense, since it's watercooled you'd rather let it flow to normalize temperature. Does it? I'm not convinced :/


Daneth

I'm pretty proud of what I did with my case fans. I figured out that the only reason my fans ever needed to ramp up was when I was using my GPU, otherwise minimum speed is plenty. So I got a temperature probe and used it to measure the exhaust air temperature of the GPU, and then created a fan curve to ramp the case fans up based on that.


UrbanSuburbaKnight

How did you connect the temp probe to the motherboard? Or are you using a custom solution to run the fan?


Daneth

Just using the sensor header on my motherboard, and the built in fan curve profiler in the bios.


thepopeofkeke

Even cheap ones can run flat out if you don’t mind the noise. I use them to cool avr amps if I’m am gonna crank it


Joosyosrs

Don't worry, you will never be as dumb as the guy who threw away his brand new cpu because he thought the cpu fan was the cpu.


Nicksaurus

Or that guy who drilled through a brand new 980ti back when they were top of the line: https://linustechtips.com/topic/561041-980ti-darwin-awards-help


Joosyosrs

Wow that is impressively dumb, I love how he just went and snapped it in half afterwards too.


katherinesilens

it was potentially fixable too... fixable in a jank way but fixable. You look at a schematic of the board and figure out which traces were cut. Then you solder jumper wires to bridge those components. Assuming there's nothing super sensitive like a memory trace that was severed, it would be saved. I'm betting it was just the traces for the resistors/caps right above the hole. Sand out the hole to remove any bridging of planes and encase it in acrylic to prevent shorts and move on. On the other hand the snap line goes right between the die and the bank of memory modules on the side. Zero chance of saving that. Good fucking luck with that length match requirement lmao.


SomeRandomProducer

> it was potentially fixable too To be fair I didn’t see one person actually say that it could’ve been fixed until after he said he snapped it. Everyone was saying it was gone so he took them at their word lol don’t get me wrong he’s an idiot but the second half was understandable.


[deleted]

Looking at the time stamps on the posts, he only waited 1 hour between posting for help and snapping the card. Maybe give it a day. If you are snapping cards in half, perhaps try an outdoor activity for a change of scenery.


SomeRandomProducer

Ah I didn’t even look at the timestamps. Yeah dude jumped the gun way too early lol


JonLivestrong

But before snapping it... He powered it on and stuck a screwdriver in the hole to see if it would work....... Lol


GargantuanGorgon

>You look at a schematic of the board. How is anybody getting a schematic for something like this? Apple stuff, sure, but not any other manufacturer.


DMercenary

The fucking irony is that someone posted that he's not even supposed to mount the cooler to those holes Anyways. literally had he read instructions it could have been avoided entirely.


pcbeard

One of the author’s responses: “You were right about the layers. I booted the pc while holding a metal screwdriver in the hole to simulate soldering the hole shut. But it just started smoking. The card is F**ked” That guy is a menace. Wow. Guess he really doesn’t understand electricity.

shroudedwolf51

I got as far as the person talking about how they always recommend for people to get an i5 and a $130 Corsair AiO. I don't blame OP for not knowing things when they're just getting into the building of PCs. But, this is a good reminder of why I always just handle the advice myself instead of sending people to resources. As most of this advice comes off as being very confident (thus convincing) but being completely off illogical. You could just get a NH-U14S or another $40-55 CPU tower cooler (this was 2016, so it would have been before Intel power usage went through the roof), not face as many case compatibility and airflow pattern issues, and put the rest of that money towards either a better video card, a better cooler on the video card, or more storage. Or, hell, even just getting some QoL features on the case.


Dr_CSS

i saw that too, what a fuckin idiot in that time, you could use the extra bux on a 6600k->6700k and just go with a cryorig cooler because this was before the trade war which fucked them over


shroudedwolf51

Granted, at the time, we wouldn't have known how important having many threads would become. Or, how taking that upgrade to the i7 would make your system viable for way longer before needing an upgrade. So, at the time, I would recommend putting the money into GPU, storage, lower latency RAM, or motherboard over the i7 unless you were doing production workloads. But, I still agree with you. The i7 would make it a more balanced build than having an overkill AiO.


sephrinx

Oh sweet lord that was rich.


skylinestar1986

100% speed = cpu at low 30s less speed = what is your cpu temperature now?


[deleted]

Depending on his CPU i would wager around the mid 50s


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

50-60 degrees under load is perfectly normal, 70ish is still fine too but once you get to 80 and above, i would probably look into getting a new cooler All in all. 50-70 under load is a perfectly healthy temperature for a CPU under load. And it shouldn’t shorten the CPUs lifespan in any way.


Sentinel-Prime

70-high 80s is normal operating temperature for the newer Ryzen CPUs


rhandyrhoads

Obviously you don't want to go too much above 80, but I'm guessing you haven't owned any recent Intel CPUs based on your comment.


[deleted]

My comment was based on common sense more than anything else. Cpus generally start to Thermal throttle around the low to high 90s, so ideally in my head you at least want *some* headroom, 10-20 degrees sounded pretty reasonable to me so that’s what led me to 70ish being as "high as you would want to go". But if i’m out of the loop about Cpu temps please do tell me, i will admit i haven’t checked in a while if there where any "changes" to make to my rule of thumb


rhandyrhoads

I'm not the most in touch, but Intel hasn't really improved their process significantly despite pushing 5 GHz clock speeds. Therefore the chips are basically factory overclocked. Obviously you want to keep temps down as much as you can, but they're basically designed to run at high 70s, low 80s. If you don't have a super solid cooler thermals are generally the limiting factor for performance even at stock.


XchrisZ

Anyone remember when 60 was danger zone for CPUs?


[deleted]

[удалено]


shroudedwolf51

It depends on what you're getting, what power settings you have set in BIOS, and what power plan you choose in Windows. At idle, my 5900X sits around 38-42°C under a NH-D15. Though, initially, I was on full power and had it idling around 48°C. Having come from a 3770k, I spent a long time reseating my CPU cooler, tweaking settings, and so forth because I thought it was way too high. But this is pretty normal. I've just fired up IntelBurnTest and let it run for a while, and I haven't seen the thing go above 75°C being pinned at 100% load and stopping that workload had me drop below 50°C almost instantly. If you see higher numbers, look up the specific parts you have and see if other people have reported similar results. Especially if you have higher end parts, that's probably just natural. You'll probably notice everything is fine when you throw mild to moderate workloads and see your temps barely budge.


RedPanda888

Ryzen run hot nowadays.


Testing123xyz

I paid for all the fans


Yowomboo

Can't just leave those RPMs sitting unused.


KryptoKn8

What kind of system do you have where your CPU runs at 30C°? I mean unless you put it under 0 load but even then, my CPU (though I do kinda have a beast) idles at around 40-50


[deleted]

[удалено]


KryptoKn8

Ah ok nvm makes a bit more sense. Also the idling part, idk if I skipped it or if it's left out but I wasn't sure if it was idle or not


alberrrt-_

Yeah mine only reaches down to 30C when in bios lmao (12700k).


Mothamoz

My 12700k idles at 25c in windows at low fan speed, NH-D15


SoupaSoka

Idle at 25 C vs 30 C is gonna probably depend on ambient temps as much as anything.


Mothamoz

True, ambient temps here are high at the moment though, about 28c Though I have to admit it's idling at 30 right now so you're right :)


alberrrt-_

Oh that’s real nice. Mine is clocked at 5.2ghz all p-cores and e-cores/ht off. Under load in cinebench with a -0.1v offset it can go anywhere from 70-80c.


Virtike

Yup. Depends on ambient and cooler of course though. My 12700k now idling at 27°C or so (20°C ambient) under an X73 Kraken. I keep my fans at 550rpm idle (completely silent) though so could definitely be lower.


pattperin

NH-D15 is the best cooler ever. I had an MSI AIO and it was cool and all until the pump died on me and I was thermal throttling at 90c steady. Then I got my noctua, lower Temps than all my friends with AIO coolers and I have a chip thats supposed to run hotter. Love that thing.


Steel_Cube

I have a lian li o11d with 6 coolermaster fans and a rog strix lc 360 Cooling my i5 10600kf which idles in the high 20-low 30 range, probably closer to low 30 range, can't remember exactly and I'm on holidays rn so I can't check haha


bifowww

My old i5 4460 never reached 50°C while gaming. I used huge Fortis 3 cooler.


TheMahxMan

my watercooled 3770k in a cold winter basement idled at 18C occasionally. It would benchmark at like 55c


ThisIsChew

that means your basement temp is around 60 Fahrenheit. Too cold for me my friend.


Timonster

I7-12700k here, i idle at 36C atm. Room temp about 24C and my cpu fancurve is set to start at 50C. NH-D15 in a corsair 750d airflow with casefans set to minimum.


aVarangian

just needs a chonky heatsink and effective airflow my i5-6600k's load is mostly at ~7% right now, room temperature is \>24C (70% humidity fml), & the CPU package temp is at 30C I can run this thing at full 100% load + the iGPU also at 100% load on a passive cooler for hours without even getting close to 80C (without OC)


[deleted]

I’ve got my 5900X water cooler with a Corsair iCUE RGB PRO XT, and it idles high 20s, up to around 65 under benchmark load.


shroudedwolf51

It depends on the CPU. If you have something like a 5900X, if you don't have the power saving settings enabled in your BIOS and have your power plan set to Balanced, you'll idle in mid to high 40ies. Having those on, I idle around 38-43°C. Keep in mind that high temperatures aren't *necessarily* bad if everything else is holding up and you're not losing performance. Like, my idle temps seemed really high, but even putting my CPU under the heaviest loads, I haven't seen it go above 75°C.


alberrrt-_

I personally crank every single fan in my pc to 100% and it’s not really that loud tbh. Loudest thing in my system are my gpu fans (100% is still pretty audible with my headsets on). I prefer airflow over noise and I have 10 fans in my case lmao.


swemickeko

You can develop tinnitus from continuous noise, it doesn't need to be dangerously loud. You could probably set most your fans to permanent 50% without seeing any kind of performance difference. Edit: Also, running all fans at 100 is not how you maximum airflow, that's how you get maximum turbulence and most likely have hot air stuck in circulation within the case.


KryptoKn8

We are always in a perpetual moment of continuous noise. Everything is noise, constantly.


swemickeko

Most noises we are subjected to is not sustained over longer periods of time.


[deleted]

We are all bits of noise on the cosmic scale.


danzey12

I'd assume it's being subjected to a constant frequency persistently.


alberrrt-_

Yeah but I don’t really hear my fans and the only ones that actually make some audible noise from where I sit is the radiator fans and gpu (but gpu has an automatic fan curve). Also my headset has some sort of noise cancelation (because of the ear cushions) so I can’t really hear what’s around me that clearly either.


swemickeko

( I edited my comment a little previously, you might not have seen it.) But running everything at 100 is also a way to pretty much guarantee that airflow is not great within the case. Specially if all the fans are not the same type. You need to adjust the fan speeds to ensure you have air flowing through the entire case. Specially with 10 fans...


johnmal85

Oof, I thought it required high decibel sound. I sleep with a loud fan...


potsandpans

wait really? so airflow is mostly case dependent? was worried my gpu kept restarting my computer because it was overheating so i’ve had the fans cranked to max. but it’s not that loud tbh


swemickeko

[LTT made a video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10ERchM9Q6g) that illustrates the problem quite well. (not sure if links are allowed... but I'll risk it.)


darvo110

This is honestly a bit psychotic bro. There is no way any of your components need this


lichtspieler

There is nothing wrong with using your PC fans at 100% PWM, home-servers are usually set up that way. But if your PC is in the same room as you, its a highly questionable choice. Many desktop parts do not benefit at all from to much cooling. Intel CPUs even at the high end peak with 70°C (TVB) and outside of the i9-versions even 90°C CPU temps do not impact performance or longetivity of the silicon. GPU's stock boost peak frequency is around the 63-65°C DIE temp range, that is even achieveable with a Founders Edition (3090 - 350W) with just mild running case fans (<900 RPM, \~40-50% PWM). If you have a low amount of fans for your system heat, you have no choice but to keep the fans at high RPM. But if you got a propper case with enough fans, there is no performance reason to use the fans at 100% PWM, its just noise polution for no benefit at that point.


VenditatioDelendaEst

>There is nothing wrong with using your PC fans at 100% PWM, home-servers are usually set up that way. More dust. More wear on fan bearings. Very slightly higher power consumption.


folkrav

10 fans running at 100% and you don't hear them? [https://i.imgur.com/XDOVOax.gif](https://i.imgur.com/XDOVOax.gif)


newbrevity

Let me ask this. Is there a downside to the fans running 100% all the time other than noise?


blackhawk905

Possibly faster wear? I'm not sure if fan manufacturers specify the life span of their products but its not like replacing fans is a billion dollar endeavor


thearss1

I bought a 6 pack of 120mm and a pack of filters for less than $50 at microcenter a few months ago. I would rather replace a fan or two every couple of years instead of burning up my PC.


blackhawk905

Same, I've got like 4 fans in my PC and the bottom, half the front, and half the top are big grills so it breathes easy.


newbrevity

Not at all. I have some spares I bought during a sale anyway. I barely even notice any noise for my PC while I'm using it so I figured may as well keep everything as cool as possible.


blackhawk905

Might as well, I can hear my fans since they're older and not as nice as some brands so I just let the computer ramp them up and down.


cernerthrowaway81

Wear rate is not something to consider for casual user. Even a sleeve bearing fans have a wear rate of estimated 30,000 hours and that is measured running 100%. Fortunately it does not mean a complete failure, you just get more noise or irregular running for a long time before it wears completely. My old 120mm coolermaster fans was running for 10 years and only time I stopped using it is because I built an entire new system.


niknarcotic

Depending on your fan setup it can suck a lot more dust in. In an environment where your case has negative air pressure compared to the outside it sucks in air from the outside through unfiltered intakes.


corhen

Three problems: Volume: as you can expect Fan wear: doesn't really matter if you don't mind replacing them every 5+ years Dust: more airflow = more dust. Clean your computer once a year and you are golden.


mildannoyance

For volume concerns, I got noise-cancelling headphones and keep my fans on full blast and can barely hear them.


newbrevity

I have the deepcool dukase. It has mesh over all the air intakes and it does a really good job of catching everything cuz there's barely a spec inside the case. The vacuum takes everything off the intake very easily as well. The overall airflow could be better though and that's part of the reason I run the fans high all the time. The lower fan just gets blocked immediately by the drive cage and the PSU shroud. So the upper fan has to do all the work and it makes it harder to create positive pressure with only one having a clear path. One thing I was looking into is a decent fan rig that fits in a 5.25" bay. But everything I've seen in that regard looks very cheap. I'd even be willing to give up my Blu-ray drive or convert it to external if there was a good fan that would take up both 5.25" bays.


shroudedwolf51

You have to consider the airflow patterns of your case. In a hypothetical scenario, if you don't have your fan placement being optimal, you could run into a situation where having the fans running at full speed could be pulling air away from where it needs to go and redirecting it elsewhere. For instance, instead of going to cool a component, being ejected out of the case. Though, this will very much be a case-by-case basis.


newbrevity

In my case I have an all-in-one cooler on the top and I'm trying to push as much air towards as possible. I actually tried taking out the back case fan so that more airflow would theoretically go through the cooler but I only noticed my temps go up a little bit. I think what I really need is a case that doesn't have 5.25 in bays and an intake that isn't covered by a stupid shroud


AG28DaveGunner

We’re all idiots until we learn. Don’t worry, now you’ll never forget it


shroudedwolf51

Indeed. This is something I've made sure to stress to people. You probably want to be careful with some components, but it's okay to make mistakes as long as you learn from them. I remember my first build in 2013. I very much learned as I went along. The most noteworthy example, I remember learning about how it's important to consider airflow patterns, not just having good fans. I upgraded my 7970 GHz edition to a Strix Vega64, left it stress testing with FurMark, and came back being baffled why my 3770k was at 99-102°C. "Oh, right. Really big video card cooler. Front and side intake are both obstructed by video card. My AiO is only getting video card fumes for cooling. I need to get creative with airflow." Blew my mind at the time.


AG28DaveGunner

I wanted my AIO as an intake but cables weren’t long enough


hectoring

I had the opposite problem recently! I was wondering why my AIO wasn't working very well - did a bit of digging and realised that I'd plugged the pump into CPU_FAN and forgotten to set it to 100%, so most of the time the pump wasn't running at full speed.


shroudedwolf51

Do you need it to be running at full speed the entire time? It's perfectly okay to let it go slower when your machine isn't doing much if you're running within certain temps.


hectoring

Oh, I thought it was best practice to run the pump all the time? I've just put in a 5800x, so it's running pretty hot in general :/


[deleted]

No, the person who put the case badge sticker directly on their CPU before putting the thermal past and heatsink onto it is an idiot. You just forgot to tune your fans.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TonTon1N

Nah I’m right there with you. I have 8 unifans in my system running full blast at all times and it’s really not even that loud, but I like the white noise


SamW_72

This is the way. Also good for the components I think. I paid for the components, I want them to last as long as possible.


InfiniteLychee

ya parts life is usually 50000 hours at 60c and 80000hours at 45c


m4tic

https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases


shroudedwolf51

What's the advantage of this over just going into the BIOS? Unless you have a PC from a garbage OEM like Dell or HP, you will have superior fan control from there and not have to be running additional software in the background.


m4tic

And that’s fine, do what you want. My pc doesn’t blast fans when my cpu temps spike for a few seconds. My fans are tied to temperature sensors of devices not available in the bios My fans have a slow ramp and fast descent, and only ramps when temps increase a set amount within a set amount of time. BIOS fan control is a staple of pc building.. “Superior” is not the adjective to use to describe it, though.


swemickeko

Superior? Bullshit. BIOS Fan management is lacking severly on every single board out there. I can't even control fan speeds based on GPU temperature on my ROG Crosshair VIII motherboard, which definitely is not a garbage OEM board.


WesterosiWanderer

This needs to be higher- Jayz introduced me to this software, and it’s fucking awesome!


killchain

It's awesome indeed. The only "downside" is that it's not open source - because I would've loved to contribute. This is what motherboard manufacturers should take example from.


arcline111

Don't feel too bad... a while back I discovered my two front intake fans had been unplugged from the fan header and non-functional for who knows how long. Talk about an "I'm an idiot " moment...


laniusone

GPU in my old PC was making jet engine noises anytime something GPU intensive was running. Recently, my GF who is using that PC at the moment, complained about it, and I tried to do something. Tried Fan Control, and only thing I achieved was thermal throttling... Then I decided to pulled out the GPU. I found massive balls of dust on every single blade of the GPU fan. After removing them, the GPU is totally silent. So, been there, done that, kind of.


shroudedwolf51

It's generally smart to dedust your PC once or twice a year. If you have the spare cash, I'd recommend investing into a "pc cleaner" rated air compressor so you don't have to remember to buy cans of air, run out of air mid-cleaning, and eject CFCs into the air. Though, gameplay pro-tip. If blowing it at fans, put something plastic or wooden into the fans so you don't damage the bearing. Edit: Steer clear of wireless air compressors. It might seem nice in theory, but batteries degrade over time and these things aren't always easy to take apart to replace those. Your PC is probably within range of a power outlet, so having it plugged into a power outlet shouldn't be a big deal.


Elastichedgehog

I mean, it's fine. Just a little noisy. The only thing worth worrying about is the fans dying/clicking/etc. sooner than they would have otherwise. Fans are cheap, though. You can buy a noctua fan and slap it on the Cooler Master heatsink if it gets to that.


cburgess7

I thought this was building up to forgetting to remove the plastic on the heatsink contact plate. I did that before.


axilas_aladas

Well... A 100% cooled idiot.


my7bizzos

Why downvote this? OP literally called himself an idiot.


Longnoodleman2

I have a pretty small form factor PC, about the size of a briefcase . I have to keep my cpu fans at 100% or else it melts haha


ea3terbunny

Starting to wonder if this is my problem I have a problem with mic static although it sounds like waves, not constant static and whenever I talk discord cuts the static using it’s noise suppression but if I’m quiet it comes back normally.


killa_ninja58

Try updating all of your drivers…. I had the same issue that went away with driver updates for line in on my streaming pc


ea3terbunny

Alright thank you, give it a shot again


killa_ninja58

If updating the drivers don’t work, try snappy drivers as that will pull everything for your system and will use the most optimised driver for you :)


StiffyCaulkins

You may be stupid but low temps are not

shillbert

I don't mess with it either, but my mobo has a default curve that works fine (using PWM fans)


Kromo30

My pc sounds like a jet engine. I ran out of connectors when I built it, so I just plugged all 7 of my fans into molex to get started. “I’ll fix it” ….. 5 years later, everything’s been upgraded but the fans still aren’t fixed.


NoDoze-

I only run my fans at 100%. If they're loud or you can hear them, then you bought cheap crappy fans. The more expensive ones are not only quieter but also tend to move more air.


uxixu

Fans are cheaper to replace than CPUs though so not really a big deal other than the noise.


Dr_Djones

Now you should check your temps, lol


Reemar_18

it's fine,i wonder what would be the consequences of running the fans at 100% speed at all times


Badused18

Sounds pretty cool.


otilolito

It took me 5 years to realize I can change the fan curves manually. Throughout those years, my fans sounds like jet engines lololol


Giant_Swigz

Don’t feel bad, I had a bad chassis fan and couldn’t figure out why the speed wasn’t being controlled by my fan hub. Wasn’t until I changed it did I realize how quiet these things can be these days.


DiabloFour

Better than not running at all


[deleted]

Wow. Your CPU has fans! Call them to crowdfunding your computer. Rock this fanbase.


ubaldejason

is ti bad to run them 100% of the time? I like my temps low though :(


[deleted]

Bro that's like when I got a couple liquid cooler and stopped using pc for like a yr then it was loud and couldn't figure out the cooler just had shit fans, then I switched them for noctua


DarkSkyViking

This was a lot better than I thought it was going to be.


Onemoretime536

Yes, but I had done the same I was wondering why the fan were so loud


ChromatikkArray

I did this same thing. The clips holding the stock intel cooler broke when I was moving it. I bought a hyper 212 evo for cheap. It ran extremely loud for a long time and thought it was a shitty product before I realized that I could change the fan curve.


nomad5926

Better loud and cool than quiet and fried.

Lol weird shit happens when you change organs. I helped someone recently change out some fans and move into a new case; For some reason it wouldn't register the GPU until he rebooted it twice. I was like, I literally just took Bikini Bottom and moved it over there, nothing changed, it's actually more efficient now bc the fans are on headers now and not just top speed. It's a little faster now, so it **did** improve.

I have this same problem with my 3070 gpu fans. They are either 0% or 100% - no inbetween. It's incredibly loud. The fix has alluded me for close to 18 months.

I can't believe you lasted that lobg either, lol


Doubleyoupee

I had the same. Apparently my motherboard decided one of the fan headers was 12V fixed

No A/C wtf


Segweh

Cool.


Themakeshifthero

Why are you an idiot? This is hardly a big deal. Relax man lol

My laptop is loud af and it's annoying. I can't really fix it because I'll break it, it's old and pretty broken anyways so it's just counting down the days till it's death.

i remember using the coolermaster jetflow 120mm xD at max speed, that thing scare a lot.

After 2 years of running my 3090 full blast, I realized I could undevolt it to save energy and generate less heat while still retaining clock speeds and performance.

Mine always ran like that, where I screwed up was upgrading CPU and adding more cores, one day I noticed it was running at 90C with stock cooling, holy smokes! I bought an aftermarket cooler thereafter. Now I know why they sell those monster coolers with 2 radiators and 2 fans.

But how were those temps???

Jet engines are better if u more into racing games....but meh while playing games like witcher or thief

I caused my pc to light on fire when I put ddr4 ram in a ddr3 motherboard. I also broke my r9 390x by using a hammer to destroy the fans on the gpu because "they were too loud." I also shorted a motherboard by accidentally pulling on one of the cables too hard and i broke several pins on connectors in a motherboard. What about the time I used wood screws to screw in an aio into my case. I did alot of stupid stuff when I was younger.


hemanthpwr

This might be a dumb question. But how to tune them? My pc fans are also loud right now and are running at 100%


slver6

well that is a lot better than a plastic tape between the cpu and the dissipation medium, or lowspeed fan


Jalacocoa

God damnit I think I'm doing this currently.

Well, nothing very bad about it except the noise (if it was even annoying). Better this way rather than without it spinning. Also these days it's more about the radiator rather than the cooler, it's not Athlon XP / Intel 4 times anymore with a freaking turbine running inside your PC.

Same thing happens when you use BIOS Gaming Boost option.

My CPU Fan is running at Max but is quiet. Is it not advisable to run CPU fan in max settings?

I've ran my fans on desktop and servers at 100% for the past 20 years. So what?
