CPU fan speed, Can i game at this speed?

[NoobOnPC]

My cpu idles at 29-30C at 3600rpm, and im wondering if i try to game, can i leave it at this speed and not burn up my card? Im trying to reduce the noise that comes from my fan :O

 

[wessamex]

you mean gpu fans or cpu ??

 

[davmazin]

you cant you probably have to make it higher to be able to play a game and avoid burning the cpu

That's a little odd, usually the CPU fan would be running at a lower speed at those load/temperatures.
Have you connected the CPU fan to the 4 pin motherboard header? It is possible to connect the 4 pin CPU plug to a 3 pin header which would probably run the fan at 100% if the motherboard is running at its default settings.

if i got this right he wants to keep the fans on the cpu at 3600rpm, the thing is if he does that when the cpu starts to work harder it will start to overheat as the fan wouldnt be able to cool his system with enough efficiency since the load is higher and the fan wont be cooling his system more, you might kill your cpu or your video card if you try to do something like that since the heat build might get too high/hot for that fan speed to be able to cool anything

Im not sure which pin it is connected to, but the fan goes much higher than what it idles at. Right now its a quiet-ish fan, but when i play lets-say... Battlefield, or ARK, or some game like that, it gets so loud i can hear it from any other room in the house XD is 3600rpm very fast, it might just be my airflow, but im not a tech wiz when it comes to fans

Which CPU is it?
The AMD boxed cooler is notoriously noisy, especially so on the 'FX' chips so your only realistic solution might be to purchase a better, quieter, cooler.

i dont know a specific, but it is the default cooler for the A10-7870k. So even with gaming, i reached around 45c-50c at 6300rpm, can you give me a good temp. range i should try to hit? and also, i've been trying to look for a new cpu fan/heatsink, but a lot of them seem quite large :O

 

[davmazin]

anyways the best bet is to check how hot your cpu gets on high loads then check which fan rpm can keep it cool under a high load circunstance

First sorry for primitive english, hope u understand (argentina). Him actually in the same issue, AIDA64 shows me 42celsius (105f) CPU temp, with average 3000rpm stock amd cpu fan. Giving pc some load like playing AAA games, or something close to, makes cpu fan get noisy as s**t, touching 4500rpm at 55celsius.
Notice using other monitor tools like Speccy, HWMonitor, and AMD Overdrive, shows average 70celsius (same time AIDA64 shows 40).

Im thinking something is wrong with temp sensors, who makes fan run that high. Help plz

These tems you are reading, what monitor are you handling? I have several diferences with diferent monitor tools
