Minimum fan speed on N650Ti PE 1GD5/OC

Hi all,
is there any way to lower fan speed below 30% (around 1100 RPM) on N650Ti PE 1GD5/OC?
MSI Afterburner doesn't allow to setup fan speed under 30% which is IMHO really to high for idle state (GPU temperature is around 28C using that minimum fan speed).
Thanks in advance!

There is no way to go below 30% by software. That would require modding the vbios.

Macbook air 2013 minimum fan speed?

Hi, I got a new macbook air recently the 2013 model, and i was wondering what the minimum fan speed is, i read online that it was 2000, but ive installed the istats pro widget and mine appears to be running at closer to 1200rpm?

My MBA-2013 reads 1200 on iStats Pro and MacFan Control.
My mid MBA-2012 reads as 2000.
Cheers

N760 TF 2GD5/OC minimum fan speed

Hello,
I just bought a MSI N760 TF 2GD5/OC, and the performance of the fan is stunning when playing, very quiet!
Althought I can't say the same when I'm not gaming and the card is idle: the twin frozr fans are the only thing that can be heard in my silent setup :-( Even my old 5850 with stock fan was inaudible under these conditions!
It seems the minimum fan speed (set to 34%, hard in bios it seems) is overkill, and I can't get it down (20% would be reasonable I think) even with afterburner.
Any ideas, vbios mod or software that could save my day here? It is really a shame that MSI made this great card so loud (compared to others) in idle!
Thanks for your help

-Does my MSI 760 twin frozr gaming have 1 or 2 fan headers? because there are two fans on the stock cooling
There is just one fan header (PWM controlled).

-Is this a card made by Nvidia reference design? and if not, will my Kraken G10 still attach to the card.
No, the card is not in Nvidia reference design. It is MSI custom design and most likely based on GTX770 board design. As the Kraken G10 is a gpu only but no full cover cooler (hence it is comaptible with many card models) it should fit fine.

Do more HDs increase minimum fan speed?

While browsing around here I've noticed that a lot of people have a HD/Expan.. fan speed of around 500 and about the same for the power supply.
My readings are always higher (even right after switching it on when all temps are still really low): My HD/Expan fan speed is never below 800, and the PSU seems to have a minimum of 600.
I believe the reason for this may be that I have populated all four HD bays. Can somebody confirm that this would result in higher minimum default settings in Leopard?
Also, I wonder if there's a way to 'switch some HDs off'. While in OS X I only actively use two drives on a regular basis. The third one is used for TimeMachine and the fourth one is hardly ever accessed since it's my Bootcamp drive.
Any ideas how I can lower the fan speed (and hence the noise level)?

Thanks to both of you.
I realize that more drives emit more heat; what surprised me is that even while they are still cool (30C) the fan is already up at 800rpm - where it stays even when the drives' temperature increase. That is why it appears the 800 rpm seems to be a minimum. I guess to really find out the correlation number of drive/rpm I need to remove some drives.
As for the graphic card, I have an ATI 2600 which I cleaned thoroughly yesterday after reading about the ATI 1900. Yet, not much dust at all (actually I was surprised on how little dust I found in my Mac...seen a lot worse in previously owned PCs).
Thanks for your input guys, if anyone knows something about the original question, please feel free to come forward.

H61MU-E35-B3 and smart fan....minimum fan speed

Hi, I installed a core i3 2100 to this board. My cooler is a Scythe Grand Kama wich cames with it's own fan. I set smart fan to target:50° and minimum speed of "0". Even tough the temps idel way below 50° the fans rpm is always aroun 620. Why does it spin so high, since i set it to 0????
thanks

ok, it's the fan....It wont run below 622rpm.

MSI GTX 770 TF minimum fan speed limit

Hi guys, seen a few others with the same problem here, but haven't found any solution.
I have GTX 770 TF and my problem is that I can't set the RPM lower than 34%, which is about 1000RPM. Core temperature in idle is 33C and these two fans are the only thing moving in my case, that's why I would love to change this behaviour (possibility to turn of the fans will be the best case scenario)
Tried Kepler BIOS tweaker with no success and I'm not willing to pay for Svet's application with no guarantee that it will help me change anything.
So the question is: is anyone here that solved this issue?

IMac (Late 2006) fan speed is 4600 rpm and nothing will change it

I just brought my iMac 24" 2.16GHz Late 2006 back from the Apple Store today and the ODD fan is running at 4600 rpm!!! The noise it generates is way too loud. It is comparable to the wind tunnel G4 I replaced. Any thoughts on how to lower the fan speed?
I took the iMac in on 12 Sep to repair microphone and video crashes. They repaired the mike and replaced the video card with an NVIDIA GeForce 7600GT. I picked it up on 3 Oct.
I have SMCFan and iStat Pro installed to monitor and adjust the minimum fan speed. I tried the usual troubleshooting steps (e.g., reset PRAM, Safe Boot, ran troubleshooting utilities, etc. to no avail.

David,
Looking through my old posts to refresh my memory, my face is red as *I AM* mistaken:O
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4064287&#4064287
I was recalling that Intel iMac users were doing the wrong SMC result three years ago (actually they were doing the SMU reset that was for the pre-Intel G-5 iMacs), and that you and I explained to them the correct way - which is of course what you recommended above:D
Nevertheless, since there is no further risk of causing the fans to race in this instance, I would myself do the wrong SMC reset method, and if it does not work, turn right around and do it the way Apple recommends. This still might result in correcting the problem.
By the way, it was widely reported three years ago that the SMC reset was frequently not successful on the first attempt, so the alternative is to try this harmless procedure at least several times before giving up on it.

What's the normal fan speed?

Hello, my fans have always been around 2000 rpm with both tiger and leopord, so I am wondering what is the normal range for fan speed when the computer is not running anything heavy.

So, I'm not crunching much at the moment; yet I have 133 F and 3906 rpm. However, that doesn't signify. It was flat on a wood table. Now, laptop; Room fan now on. That fan is the main thing. I read a great overview, will post link if I can find it, that air is like fluid dynamics: a MBP flat on a table in an air conditioned room (no fanned air movement) will run hotter than an MBP with space under, with a room fan, moving warmer air. Yah, no, really true.
Get freeware iStat Control 1.1 (1.2 soon): (http://www.islayer.com/), which will display fans' speed and temps in the menu bar, andmore, and make popcorn too, with the lavalamp thingee.
Then I use Fan Control, 1.2, freeware, and set it up a tiny bit just to be cool: " ... Do you think your MacBook (Pro) is running to hot? Give Fan Control a try then. Some MacBook (Pro) are just to hot for daylong use. Fan Control adjusts the minimum fan speed depending on the current CPU temperature. For safety, it leaves the original automatic fan speed control intact ..." Leopard Ready, yah.
http://www.lobotomo.com/products/FanControl/index.html
Both are preference panes in System preferences, which is very elegant, imho. And yes I have Leopard still shrinkwrapped. I will take a stab at it soon. Goodbye, cruel world (nah).

What Fan Speeds Are Normal?

My fan speeds are (in rpm): CPU-1800 HD-2200 OD-1300
Until I got the Sims 3, I didn't have a problem with the heat of my computer. But after I bought the game, I felt a need to download a fan control software to keep the temps down. I tried smcFanControl, but I couldn't get it to work. So then, I downloaded something called iMac Fan Control. It seemed to work, and I could access it in my System Preferences. But I noticed that it did something strange. Even at it's lowest settings, my fans ran just a little bit louder than they used to, so they are actually audible.
I deleted the program, but the fans still ran louder. It must have left some back-ground information on my computer. I want to get rid of it!!!
I have tried resetting the smc, PRAM and NVRAM, and started up in safe mode. Nothing works.
I need help!

Every Mac model and size seems to have its own default minimum fan speeds. FanControl was over riding them until you were able to get all of the remnants out. Each of the steps should have allowed your Mac to resume using just its default speeds.
I use smcFanControl. I like it a lot. Plus it comes with Spanish as well! The first time you launch it smcFanControl reads your Mac's default fan speeds and creates a default set. Then I have made three more sets with ever faster speeds that I use under different circumstances which cause my temps to rise. Here in Monterrey we have had weeks of right about 40°C every day. I have no air conditioning, only a fan. I have a Hot and a Really Hot set of fan speeds as it gets warmer in the house during the day. Also a set for when I use my EyeTV Hybrid connected to cable television and using an ext HDD as a DVR.

Mac pro 3,1 default fan speed?

Hey guys, ive been messing around with SMC fan Controller over the years, and have increased minimum fan speeds due to hotter ambient room temps, or simply because i was running extended cpu intensive activities. Good to take precaution since the 3,1s are known for increasing fan speed after things have already gotten too hot. This can lead to overheating. At some point within the SMC fan Controller app, i changed the "default" fan choice higher instead of creating a new blank custom fan setting before choosing my fan speeds. My problem now is that i dont know what the default settings were. i think one was 500, 600, 600, 800 RPM maybe? No idea.
its is a 8 core 3.2 earl 2008 3,1 Mac Pro Desktop. This has different fans than all other mac pros so this question is 3,1 specific.
I think the four fans are labeled:
Power supply
I/O
CPU
Intake
not entirely sure because i am away from teh computer at the moment.
Thanks
-Mitch

smcFanControl's preferences are located in /Users/<user>/Library/Preferences as com.eidac.smcFanControl2.plist. I believe that if you move that to the desktop and restart, a default plist will be rebuilt for your particular Mac. If that doesn't fix it, you can always put the plist back where it was.
Or, you can simply make smcFanControl not a startup item and then use something like iStatPro to see what the unadjusted fan speeds are because smcFanControl doesn't change the built-in speed defaults, it just overrides them as the lowest fan speeds.

Monitoring Fan Speed

Is their already a tool availible that can Monitor the Speed of the Fans?
In "iStat Pro" their is a field prepared but the Fan Bar is empty
Who helps me?

Hi Bucky,
I am glad that you like smcFanControl.
About interaction with the CPU temperature:
I decided not to go this route, cause of two reasons:
a) reading out the CPU temperature does not always work. Some macbooks stop reporting CPU temperature after some minutes. So it's not reliable.
b) Interacting with the CPU temperature means you disable automatic fan control and adjust it automatically. This however means if you let the user set the values for any given CPU temperature, the fan speeds might be to low and there is a risk of hardware damage. Another risk might be, that the smccontrol app crashes and while automatic fan control is disabled the fan gets stuck at a certain speed, though the load and temperature is getting higher
It's still not clear which fanspeed is default for which temperature as set by apple. So I decided to just make the minimum fan speed adjustable and let automatic fan control be active - to be on the safe side:)

MSI GTX 460 1 Gb OC & NiBiTor, fan speed mod

A dew days ago, i purchased an MSI GTX 460 1 GB OC graphics card.
This one:
http://hr.msi.com/product/vga/N460GTX-M2D1GD5-OC.html
Problem is, fan is too loud at idle. I've tried using MSI Afterburner but it won't let me
go lower than 40%, which is too much. As Svet is no longer able to mod BIOS (which i perfectly
understand when we look at number of requests he received daily ) i tried to do it myself.
I saved BIOS with GPU-Z and opened it with NiBiTor. I found an option to change minimum fan speed
from 40 to 30. But, problem is that NiBitoR puts red dot at the "integrity" check, immediately when
I open it. Does this means that NibiTor was unable to properly read BIOS information? Does this mean that I can't safely save a BIOS and will damage my card if I try to flash a card with modded BIOS?
NibiTor is version 6.02. My card is MSI N460GTX M2DIGD5
S/N 602-V232-150B1101136247

My e-mail? There is nothing there.
I think that GPU-Z has some problems saving my BIOS. When i use nvflash
saving option (from DOS), Nibitor shines a green dot whan i opened BIOS with it!
I've sent an e-mail with BIOS to Svet, but with the version extracted with GPU-Z. I think
that BIOS was corrupt...

What's normal range temperature and fan speed for a 27" iMac?

I have a new iMac (27-inch, Late 2013), 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 8GBs ram, and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2048 MB.
Smc fan control reads up to about 131°F and around 1200rpm fan. Is this within normal range? At what point should I be worried?
Thanks

1200 rpm is the minimum fan speed according to iStat Menus and other sources. If your fans are at the minimum that means your system is not concerned about the temperature. On my system currently the fans are at minimum (1199rpm) and the temperature is 104°F. The room ambient temperature is 74°F. Your system looks normal to me. By the way, my system is also a 27-inch late 2013 iMac with the 3.5ghz I7 CPU. The Haswell CPUs are very efficient and low power.

Fan speed questions

I have a few questions about the fans and temperature inside my Mac Pro.
1) what is the temperature sensor labeled "northbridge"?
2) can using a smc control app to up my minimum fan speed and lower component temperatures be beneficial to my machine or I in some way?
When I am using an application like handbrake/mac the ripper to decrypt a DVD it sets all four cores crunching at 99-100%, performance is spectacular but I wonder about heat.
thanks

Intel designs their cpu to protect itself before heat would damage the chip. however the same can't be said for FBDIMMs though there the system would k/p or have parity errors I think.
video cards can die, just from dust preventing air from being drawn into the chamber area.
Disk drives could have a shorter life if they operate above 50º regularly.
but in all scenarios the fans should kick into high gear (1500-2500 rpm) if those sensors are working and exceed safe temperature.

Automatic fan speed adjustment?

Currently I have the app SMCFan running on all of my Macs to regulate the fan speed in order to cool them down. And on all of these Macs I have different presets that control the RPM of specific fans. I have few different fan settings on my iMac according to the intensity of the task and the temperature of the hardward (I use MiStat to monitor my computers' temperature).
Here is the issue, my brother play games all the time and usually it drives the GPU and CPU up to 60-70C all the time and I don't want to turn my fan to maximum or over maximum the entire time including when its idle just to make sure it runs fast when my brother is playing games because: 1) it can potentially shorten the fan's lifespan, 2) it gets extremely loud especially on the iMac where the fan is gigantic. I can only go in and adjust the fan speed when I notice my brother is playing game via Screen Sharing from my MacBook Pro but I'm not always looking out for when he's playing games so there are times when the GPU shoots up to 70-80C and I won't know to adjust the fan speed.
For that, is there a way for me to set my iMac, or any of my Macs, that when the CPU or GPU activity hits a certain point (by % of activity or the temperature reading of the processor itself) it will increase or decrease the fan speed according to my settings automatically? If there is it would be extremely helpful to keep my iMac last longer.
Thanks ahead.

You are trying to fix something that isn't broken.
OS X controls the fan automatically to protect the cpu.
Third party fan control software is not needed and may, if configured improperly, result in damage to the cpu although an Intel cpu is supposed to shutdown if it gets too hot.
The minimum fan speed is 2000 RPM. It will start to increase around 70 degrees C.
