Monitoring fan speeds - Super loud.

[Bluesadventures]

Hey guys, so I recently ordered a GTX 970 to find my motherboard was so old I couldn't use them together. No biggy, I went and ordered a compatible Motherboard. And a new Cooler as my previous one was an intel stock one. Installation went fine, and my current temps on my i7 3770k is 27-32 idle across the 4 cores. Haven't hit above 57 while playing any games, pretty solid. It's SUPER loud though, it's a small case. While it may be the Evga Gtx 970 as there's lots of comments saying they're pretty loud, I downloaded SpeedFan and it's saying my two fans are both around 6500 rpm at all times.. Should I be concerned at all? Screencap of the SpeedFan.

I'd appreciate any help or input! Thanks all.

The hyper t2 runs @ 2800prm, no wonder its super loud.

Use speedfan or your motherboard's fan control to slow down the cpu fan.

Use evga precision X or MSI afterburner to control your gpu fan speed.
Keep it fixed @ 50%.

Hey bartholomew, so I read through the Speedfan link, and I wasn't seeing the option to change the values on mine. I went ahead and went into my Bios, I set the Smart control to 40c, the Cpu fan to 50%, and the system 1 fan to 50% also, just to see the noise difference or temp differences. While I was in the bios, it was saying I was getting rpm's of 1800-2300. Saved it and rebooted, open up speedfan just to double check and it's still saying fan 1 and 2 are around 6500.

What I mean by not seeing the option in Speedfan, he says he links the speeds to his temp1, yet when I click the plus mark to drop down nothing happens.

Do you know of another program I can check my RPM's with? I don't understand how if I set the speeds in the bios, SpeedFan is still picking up 6500+ on both.

Edit : My gpu fans are completely fine, 1400'ish while no load, and even under gaming it doesn't raise that much.

Is it still loud?
If everything is silent, then I'd ignore that reading, could be a faulty sensor.

Yea SpeedFan is wrong, I downloaded Hwmonitor a lil bit ago and it's picking up normal rpm's on case fan, and cpu fan. I downloaded hwinfo also and picked up 1500'ish on the chassis fan and cpu, so it looks good! Still loud, but I'll live with it. Was more concerned I was stressing the fans and they'd give out. Thanks for the help bud, have a good day.
