i have the full tower haf 932 case and a sunbeamtech cromatic windmill fan controller and a ecs a790gxm a motherboard with the phenom ii x4 cpu and the alarm keeps on going off for the cpu on my cromatic windmill saying that the temp is 149 farenhiet.i have the 3 200mm fans running at 720 and the rear 140 mm fan running at 1200.how is it possible that my cpu is still overheating and how do i fix it?
 
Check and make sure your CPU heatsink is mounted properly. You need consistent contact between the CPU, thermal paste, and heatsink. Additonally, try checking the temperature with a different program, there could be a problem with the fan controller. Additionally, the case fans really do not keep a CPU cool, they circulate the air in the case and allow other cooling devices to be more effective.
 

the fan has been like this since i got it and the cpu sensor just hangs in the case.i got the mobo from alivo corp and the heatsink came already on the mobo as well the memory and cpu.if i connect the fans to a power supply will it run them at max?
