How can I adjust fan speed?

Hi; I have an HP Comaq Presario CQ57. The fan has gotten pretty loud; even when I first turn on the laptop and it is well ventalated in a cool area it is obnoxiously loud. Is there any way I can turn the fan off or adjust the fan speed? (I know it's risky so if you're going to tell me that please make sure you answer my question as well )

You can try a program called speedfan which is a free download
http://download.cnet.com/SpeedFan/3000-2094_4-10067444.html
It's a pretty hard thing to use but it does give a readout of temperatures, which is useful even if you can't use it to adjust fan speed. Also go into the BIOS (F10) and see if there is a fan always on option and if so deselect it.
The fan is running fast for a reason. It is a symptom not a disease. Very likely the computer needs to be opened up and cleaned out inside. Post back if you want some direction on how to tackle that chore.

27" iMac how can I adjust fan speed to cool more?

Is there a program in the OSX to check fans and temp?

Of course. To check temperatures, you can use Temperature Monitor > http://www.bresink.com/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html
To adjust fan speeds, use smcFanControl > http://www.eidac.de/ Be careful with fans because you mustn't set a fan speed higher than 2000 rpm. You will have problems in the future if fans work at a higher speed all the time

How can I control fan speeds in Win7 on a MBP-R for gaming?

I have a MacBook Pro with Retina Display. It has had Windows 7 installed and I want to play some 3D action games. How do I stop internal parts from overheating? I intend to use a USB cooling pad but that'll do nothing if the internal fans remain at idle speed.
The only Windows fan speed control utility I could find was the 4-year old SpeedFan which fails to detect the presence of any internal fans. I'm not impressed with the Windows community's failure to offer more and better than this tired old relic.
So the questions remain:
(1) Is the hardware still capable of automatically accelerating the fans as temperatures rise while gaming in Windows?
(2) What In Windows forces the MBP-R to lock the nVidia GPU into continuous duty and ignores Intel GPU?
(3) What control does the user have for (2)?
(4) How can I protect my MacBook Pro/Retina from overheating while playing PC games, apart from not playing games?

How do I adjust Fan speed?

Hi Guys,
Recently I got my self a AMD XP 2600+ for my K7N420.
Before I had a AMD 1200.
Now the thing is, the fan used to always run at 4500 but now it only comes merely above 4000. How do I adjust the fan such that it goes at 4500 again?
Who can help me?

Is this the same fan?
Is it plugged into the motherboard or directly to power supply? Maybe direct connection for more power.
500 rpm probibly doesn't change much anyway.
What dcb is the fan rated? Maybe quieter just to leave it as is.

I pod touch is running at high speed,how can I adjust this please?ThanksJoan

If you mean playback speed, then you can adjust.
Have a look at the manual:

How can i measure the speed of the fan in sound and vibration signal simulator box

how can i measure the speed of the fan in sound and vibration signal simulator box
provided the values tach out:2 pulses/revolution and maximum speed = 6000rpm

Hi. I tried your suggestion and I could not get it to work well. In
fact it worked better without the running average (which suprised me).
I also played with the number of data points but still could not get it
to work well.
Do you have any other suggestions on how I could sort this problem out?
I
have attached a screen shot of the signal. To recap, I'm trying to
measure the'y' position of the flat regions of the signal. The signal
does not have a constant level, so this 'y' position varies with time
in a non-unform manner.
I am currently differentiating
the signal and selecting the y position when the differential is equal
to zero (within a tolerance band).
In the screenshot, the
signal has been zeroed using the method I have described above.
However, it occasionally has glitches which may be caused when the code
picks up a zero gradient at a peak or valley in the signal.
I therefore need some kind of algorithm that only measures the position of the flat regions.
Many thanks
John

MSI Z87-G43 can't control fan speed

Hi, i just bought an MSI Z87-G43 and i'm using a i5-4670 on it (yeah, 4670 without the K).
I wanted the minimum noise as possible so i bought a Noctua NH-U12P SE2
Like the pictures shows it has 2 fans.
I connected the 2 fans on cpu1 and cpu2 fan and both BIOS and Commander Center can see them correctly, but both of them can't change the rotation speed.
Those fans have a 3 pins connector.
How can i do it? Now my CPU is cool and i like it, but a little more hot for a little less noise is a good deal (and my goal!)
thank you

As alternative you can get a fan controller like Sunbeamtech Rheosmart PCI Fan Controller, it should allow to use 4pin PWM singnal and convert it into voltage control,
Quote
Product Details:
Smart Way Controlling all Fans & Airflow. The Rheosmart PCI Fan Controller is designed to make any existing 3-pin fan automatically regularized by the PWM signal from the Motherboard! With its ability to connect two fans to a single PWM connector at a maximum of 20W/channel, a wide selection of fans can be supported. When a normal fan is connected to the Rheosmart PCI Fan Controller, they become auto adjusting through the PWM signal.
The Rheosmart PCI Fan Controller operates in two different modes; when connected to a PWM-enabled motherboard you can allow the system to auto-adjust fan speed through he motherboard's temperature sensor. When switched onto manual mode by the pushing of the lever-switch to the right, you turn the connected fan onto manual control mode.

How to disable dynamic fan speed?

I have MSI 865P Neo. How to disable dynamic fan speed?

jpscwf: Personaly I always keep my fans on maximum anyway so I havn't tried saving settings at a lower level, better to have too much cooling anyway, rather than have your chip burn up..
netreaper: I may be wrong, but if your not running the corecell program then I don't think the fan speeds are adjusted. In any case, follow the instructions I gave above, and set both the fan speeds to maximum, that way you allways get the maximum cooling possible. Problem solved.

I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong. How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong. How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

If I understand you correctly, when you enter a date in the Adjust Date and Time window, the picture does not update with the date you enter. If that is the case then something is wrong with iPhoto or your perhaps your library.
How large a date change are you putting in? iPhoto currently has an issue with date changes beyond about 60 years at a time. If the difference between the current date on the image and the date you are entering is beyond that range that may explain why this is not working.
If that is not the case:
Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.iphoto
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
---NOTE: to get to the "home > library" hold down option on the keyboard and click on "Go" > "Library" while in the Finder.
Let me know the results.

How can I adjust the font size of my printouts?

I have an HP Officejet 4500 all-in-one printer and a new HP pavilion Slimline computer. Since I changed to this computer, my printouts have very small font size making them hard to read. How can I adjust the font size of the printout? Is it a computer or printer function? I appreciate the help.

I, too, am frustrated. This seems like something that would easily be handled within the application software. However, none of the fixes I've been offered have been very helpful. My cousin sugested using Control C and Control V to move the text to WORD. Once in WORD, you can manipulate the text on a WORD page...sometimes. I've had good and bad luck with this method. It still requires working in two different programs to get it legible. Does anyone else have a 4500 All-in -one with this problem, or is it only me? Thanks, [Edited for Personal Information]

How to change fontsize in iTunes
Take an XML-Editor and open:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\de.lproj\TextStyles.plist"
For other languages change your country code (de, en, fr, pl ...).
Example for english: "\en.lproj\TextStyles.plist".
Backup this File !!!
To change the Text-Size, change the integer value of the following item:
"<key>size</key>"
"<integer>8</integer>"
This means Text-Size 8
"<key>size</key>"
"<integer>12</integer>"
This means Text-Size 12
To change the font, change the integer value of the following item:
<key>font</key>
<string>Arial</string>
This means the font changes to Arial
This also works:
<key>italic</key>
<true/>
<key>bold</key>
<true/>
<key>underline</key>
<true/>
