How Do You Change Your CPU Fan Speed Manually?

[BasicHoe]

I have tried to use SpeedFan but nothing is working, I know there's a way to change the fan speed manually in the BIOS but I don't know how. The fan keeps shutting off while I play games and makes the game's frame rate drop massively as it heats up. Is there a way that I can force the fan to be on at full speed all the time?

1. First off, check that the BIOS Silent Fan Speed Control is disabled so the ran runs at continuous full speed. If you have to change the setting, restart the computer, preferably turning it completely off, so the setting takes effect. Next open the case to visually check the actual fan speed against the BIOS setting. Play the game if necessary to recreate the actual conditions when the CPU fan fails, while visually checking the fan speed... If the fan keeps stopping, buy a replacement.. if it's a regular stock cooler fan, you can buy a replacement at any computer supply store or on the Internet. If it's a brand name specialized CPU cooler, see if you can get a fan replacement from the manufacturer or searching around on the Internet.

2. To reset the BIOS check the different ways you can do it.

3. A BIOS update: You can download the BIOS update from the motherboard manufacturer's product page, from the Support / Downloads page. The BIOS download normally include the instructions to install the BIOS update. http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4568#bios Download the F10 version from the link that indicates your area of the world.

Shutting off completely? That is another issue entirely. I would however check the BIOS under hardware or something like that. What motherboard is it?

Download the user manual and see page 85 on BIOS settings for CPU fan speed management.
