Hello Tom's hardware forum,
I recently bought a new desktop with the below spec:
The stock Master Cooler CPU fan is running permanently at 2500+rpm (processor temp only 25 degrees on average at this fan speed) and it will not slow down via Bios. It is plugged into a four pin CPU fan slot on my motherboard. I wonder if it is not a fan I can slow down via Bios?
In which case could some of you please recommend some silent or very quiet cooling fans, compatible with my build and which can be controlled via Bios?
I should add that I already had 2x4gb compatible DDR4 2666mhz Corsair Vengeance memory which I have installed after removing the 4gb which came with my new computer. I also intend to buy and install a passively cooled 4GB Palit Geforce GTX 1050Ti KalmX graphics card.
As you can probably guess by now, a near silent PC is very important to me!
Thanks.
