MOVED: Northbridge fan speed

This topic has been moved to AMD64 nVidia Based board.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=92594.0

I removed my NB fan on 865pe fis2r a long time ago and just kept the sink, but
what I can remember, the fan-speed were somewhere around 6.000rpm.
Your fan probably need some "grease" ( not the best of quality fans)
On my P-serie boards I never had any fans mounted from the beginning.
They came with just the heatsink.

  • Northbridge fan speed

    I just bought a MSI K8N Neo3 nForce 4 mainboard. I have updated the bios to the latest version. Activated cool and quiet, and the smart cpu fan control. When I enter the bios the northbridge fan works at around 7500 rpm! And make so much noise. Can this be correct. Can I somehowe slow it down? It also seem like the cpu fan goes to fast, over 3000, the temperature on the cpu is 30 degrees. It's a AMD semperon 2800+. Somebody help me?

    It's been posted many times already.
    You could get the zalman fanmate2 to lower the rpm of the NB fan.
    It will go as low as 2800rpm,but keeping it around 5400rpm should do the job just fine.
    I run it around 5000rpm(jumps up and down between 5000 and 5400) and also I've ordered a replacement fan from msi in the netherlands,it's on the way free of charge.
    I did this because now I've greased the standard fan several times already because of the grinding noise it sometimes produces,even at 5400rpm.
    Also speed seems to drop down occasionally,so for now I'm fine,but the replacement fan will come in handy since this is leading to a dead end.
    This new fan seems to run at approx 5400rpm btw.

    This seems in order.If you can't lower the cpu fan speed you might need a bios update or cpu driver update.
    Or your cpu isn't supported by the cool&quiet chip.

  • MOVED: Duel Fan Speed Controller in PCI slot

    Duel Fan Speed Controller in PCI slot

    Hi-
    Most important is that the PCI slot fan exhausts- that it isn't just an air mixer. Next, to get the most cooling, you'll want as many cfm's as possible. There are all kinds of gimmicks, and brand names like Thermaltake and Vantec have their versions.
    I think the following is a reasonable performer, and has the desirable form factor
    http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=39598 &CatId=804
    The following Thermaltake has high cfm's, but may be a bit loud:
    http://www.aerocooler.com/shop.cart?action=ITEM&prod_id=FANTT2375
    At 32 cfm though, it would really help exhaust hot air from inside the tower, and help the PSU (and other components) run cooler, and perform better.
    Here's a 21 cfm version:

  • Portege M400 freezes, screen goes black and fan speed increase when moved

    Can someone please help me?
    I recently received the Portege M400 from a friend 4 days ago and reformatted to Windows XP Tablet edition.
    All was going well until I wanted to move the laptop to my coffee table, but as soon as I move the laptop it freezes, the screen goes black and the fan speed increases dramatically!,
    So far I have had no success in fixing this problem and I much appreciated is some one could help me!

    Hi there,
    I have the same laptop. Bought it from a friend also! That was a year ago. It was working perfectly till 6 months ago when I had it going 100% like yours. Screen freezes, fan speeds up and hangs up once it is moved. Recently, even if it doesnt move it hangs up also. I have tried many things like reinstalling drivers and Windows.....etc.
    I dont think it is Windows problem or drivers problem, because if you run BIOS and try to move the laptop, it also hangs up!!
    Tried updating the BIOS, also no benefit. I ended up opening the laptop and having a look to the motherboard (thinking that I could see something that I could fix!! But again, did not get any results.
    I tried also disconnecting peripherals one by one to see whether I could spot the problem, I disconnected the battery, the hard disk, the optical drive, the wirelss modem (from inside), memory, and even the bluetooth, but could not spot the culprit.
    I believe now that the problem is basically the motherboard (sort of wear and tear insulation problem) and it is beyond my humble expertise.
    I am sure if I would contact TOSHIBA, they would not be of much benefit as I am a second hand user. And if I try to buy from them a main board, they will charge me hell of money.
    I hope that this is helpful for you to avoid you wasting your time like me.
    Please if you would come into any progress, let me know. Likewise, I would be happy to update you.

  • Question About Northbridge fan

    First, my system specs:
    Intel Pentium 4 Prescott 2.8GHz HTT w/ 800MHz FSB
    Thermaltake Spark 7+ Xaser Edition A1715 CPU Cooler
    MSI 865PE Neo2-PFISR motherboard (BIOS ver. 3.8)
    2x512MB Kingston PC3200 DDR SDRAM @ 400MHz
    Maxtor 6Y120M0 120GB HDD 7200RPM SATA150 8MB cache
    Built-by-ATI Radeon 9800 Pro @ XT 128MB DDR 256-bit @ 415/744 (Catalyst 4.12)
    Arctic Cooling VGA Silencer Revision 3
    Creative SoundBlaster Audigy2 ZS Platinum
    Sony DDU1612 40x/16x DVD-ROM
    Sony CRX230ED 52x/32x CD-RW
    Enermax Noisetaker EG475P 470W PSU(+3.3V = 34A, +5V = 40A, +12V = 33A)
    Windows XP Pro SP2
    Even though on MSI's website the picture for the PFISR doesn't have a northbridge fan, mine does.  So, is there a reason why this thing is so bloody loud?  It sounds like a piece of plastic is just barely sticking up into the fans, creating a rattling sound.  If I turn my CPU fan speed down to a moderate speed, the NB fan is the loudest thing in my case, and I have five 80mm case fans and two PSU fans going full speed.
    Does my motherboard have fan control for this fan?  Is it possible to turn the speed down some?  What if it I just remove the damned thing altogether?  I don't really see the point of having the fan there anyway, since both it and the heatsink are so small that they can't really be moving that much heat.  How hot does the northbridge usually get?  Is it possible to overclock the northbridge and see any performance gain?

If you have a shortcut already on the desktop you could right click on that, choose copy and paste that shortcut into the startup folder. Speedfan will now startup with windows.
    Thanks, that worked perfectly.
    And I configured Speedfan to only run the NB fan at 75%, and it is now much quieter.  

  • 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?

  • Ultra 24 FAN speed

    My Ultra 24 fan is rotating very speed and generating huge noise.
    As per my diagnosis, I found that system is not able to recognize temperature, fan speed and voltages.
    I've changed the motherboard also with BIOS 1.5 still my problem is not resolved.
    Can any one help me on this.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regds...Gumma

    Hi guys,
    I have the same problem - I tried everything according to the instructions but nothing helps
    it says the flash process completed normally, i turn off the workstation (from front button), moved j25 from 1-2 to 2-3, waited 10...90 seconds, pulled j25 back to 1-2 - THE SAME result!! (((
    As per instruction it should come to "Intel ME Setup" (prompt to press Ctrl-P) - nothing comes, all the time the same "CPU fan error"
    Has anyone faced this case? :(

  • Extremely High Fan Speed

    A few times in the past month I've left my computer on and left the room, only to return to a computer that won't "wake" from hibernation and has an unbelievably high cooling fan speed. It's not like the normal hum of a fan, it's almost like it's a room-sized air conditioner is running. The fan is moving (or sounds like it's moving) massive amounts of air. The Power Mac won't stop unless I press and hold the power button until it shuts down. I've read many posts about fan noise, but nothing like what I've experienced. Is anyone familiar with this problem?
    PowerMac G5 2.3Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   2.5GB RAM, 250 GB HD

    Hello, thread viewers.
    I also have a G5 (dual 2.7Ghz) which is stock, from Apple, with 2GB RAM and the same intermittent problem of "freezing" while sleeping. The fans are running at full speed when I find the machine like this, though the case isn't particularly hot (making me think the temperature feedback has failed more than that the processors are cooking).
    Extensive examination of the system log has revealed no obvious common message prior to this situation. As it happens only once or twice per month and I cannot predictably reproduce it, I cannot guess as to what is causing the problem. If I recall, it occurred with OS 10.3 as well as each release of 10.4.x.
    I have run every test I can think of without an obvious problem. I have reset the PRAM and NVRAM. I have repaired permissions and verified disc status multiple times without change (and without detecting any unusual errors). I am a veteran Mac user and I cannot think of further diagnostic routines to get to the bottom of this vexing problem.
    I don't have odd peripherals attached, and the ones I do have are usually off (FireWire drives, for example). I have tried several times to ssh and rlogin from other machines to the system when it's in this state without avail. The computer simply fails to respond to these commands, as well as to ping requests. The core OS is not responsive to outside prodding.
    Anyhow, I can say that, at least in my case, the solution to this problem is definitively NOT the usual suspects, as outlined above. I am reluctant to give the machine back to Apple at this point because (1) without an obvious trigger or cause, the repair is likely not to fix the problem, and (2) I don't want to spend the time cloning, cleaning, then reinstalling my system for a shot-in-the-dark hope that they'll replace some faulty component that can fool the diagnostic software into thinking it's OK.
    Please post any progress made so we can focus our efforts! Best of luck! I'll be following this topic anxiously!

  • Fan Speeds, and Mirror Raid with New Internal Hard Drive

    Regards,
    I recently installed and formatted a new hard drive in my PowerMac dual 2.3 ghz computer and I have a few questions.
    1. Now that there are two hard drives do I need to do anything to ensure that the fan on my computer can keep them cool? I think the fans I have in the hard drive bay is enough, but I do not know if they will automatically set themselves to run properly. I can monitor the fan speeds and temp from iStat pro, but do not remember what level the temperature was before installing the new one.
    2. Given that my new drive is a SeaDisc hard drive and the older one is a Western Digital, will this cause any problems in creating a mirrored RAID. I believe that both are 7200rpm drives, and my second hard drive is a little larger (I will just have unused space after making the RAID). I am concerned with the fact that these two drives are from two different manufactures. Will this cause problems or drastically slow down the reading and writing of data? Has anyone else experienced problems in making a mirrored RAID from two hard drives that are not exact matches, and even come from different manufacturers?
    Any advice will help.
    Thanks
    earpshmael

    Hi earpshmael;
    Generally when creating RAID arrays the more similar the drive the less problems you tend to have.
    The real question is exactly why do you want or need RAID?
    I think so many people seem to think that RAID will solve all of their problem. I hate to tell you the bad news but it will not.
    Generally there are to varieties of RAID available using the software RAID built into OS X which are 0 and 1. RAID 0 or stripling is generally for moving large file rapidly for applications like HD video. It usually doesn't help the OS. RAID 1 or mirroring is for protection from drive failure. It is not a valid backup solution.

  • 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).

  • Is it safe to ramp up your MacBook's Fan speed?

    So I got a new MBP 13" retina mid 2014 edition (i5 @ 2.6GHz, 8GB RAM, INTEL IRIS, 128GB SSD). As you can all see this configuration is CLEARLY not meant for gaming, but I did try to push it to its limits. I tried out DOTA 2 in 1080p res and the MBP started overheating like crazy, it was about 90 degrees CELSIUS. That is way too higher than what Apple recommends. So I downloaded TG Pro from the app store and ramped up my fan speed to about 5500RPM and got down my avg Temperature to about 50-56 degree CELSIUS. I was worried that this would decrease the life span of my fan and would need a replacement maybe in a year or so if I continued like this. I then contacted Apple support and they gave me a thumbs up saying its absolutely safe to do this and won't do much harm to the fans. I ask this here again for a second opinion from someone who has been doing this for a while now to bring down their temperatures.
    link for TG Pro:
    https://itunes.apple.com/in/app/temperature-gauge/id467830521?mt=12
    more details about TG Pro:
    http://www.tunabellysoftware.com/tgpro/

    i was thinking along exactly the same lines as you. that's why i was worried. the first i heard of this application SMCfan control, was from someone who had bought a secondhand white macbook and was using it for some kind of CPU heavy audio DJ'ing application, which he said was heating up the machine a great deal. he had only previously used PC's, so maybe it was something he had used on that platform. I had no interest in this application at all until about a week ago my machine started making a loud noise, and i called apple support, they had me try resetting the PRAM and when that didnt work they said take it in for service. i reasoned that the only two moving parts in the machine are the fan and the HDD. so i wanted to see which one was the culprit. thats why i went for the fan application. I wanted to see if i sped it up and the noise got worse i could reason that the noise was coming from there. Anyway, miraculously when i sped the fan up, whatever was knocking around in there must have flown out because that completely solved the issue!!! since then i haven't used the app to speed up the fan, only to read the CPU temperature, more out of general curiosity than anything else.

  • Macbook Pro Retina Fan Speed with 3 vs 2 external displays

    Hello,
    When I'm in my home office, I often use my MacBook Pro Retina in Clamshell Mode (in a BookArc) with external displays.
    Originally, I used 2 external displays (2x 1920x1800), and the fan speed and temperature remained stable at the lowest end of the spectrum (around 2200rpm and 60°C). However, recently I decided to use all the ports available and plug in an extra monitor (1680x1050) for that extra screen real estate. I can tell you that having three external monitors really makes a difference to my productivity. However, just by adding this extra display, the fan speed boosts up to a minimum of 4500rpm and often goes up to around 6000rpm. The temperature is also high (I guess the fan speed is a symptom of this).
    I understand that the extra pixels in the 3rd monitor could definately tax the GPU more. However, I am suprised that the fan speed and GPU temperatures go so high, especially as all I am doing is moving around on a Preview PDF file, just from adding the extra monitor (especially with it's modest resolution).
    I guess my questions are:
    Is this expected behaviour for the rMBP?
    Is this going to damage my rMBP with extended use (say, a good 6-8 hours pretty much every day for the next few years)?
    Thanks very much,
    Richard

    I've managed to get the fan speed down to a reasonable, less audible level by using that old VRAM terminal command to enable me to keep the internal display disabled whilst the lid is open. I've had to shift quite a lot round on my desk to make this happen, but I guess it was the only way. It now runs 3 screens under similar loads at approximately 3500prm.
    Taking your advice into consideration, I raised the rear feet and this enabled further decrease in fan speed. I guess one of those laptop stands will augment this effect, and I will look into them.
    Anyway, thank you for your help!
    Thanks,
    Richard

  • T430 Thermal Limit and Fan speed

    Hello, I have a T430 with the i7-3520 and NVS 5400 1GB.
    I'm a little concerned with the high temperatures my system shows. At idle and most of the time the temperature on the cpu is reported in the low/mid 40C range. (fan is very quiet or nearly silent)
    However, I tried playing Age of Empires 3 to see how the laptop does. Performance was great, fan speed kicked up a little but I thought it was still VERY quiet (all my other laptops have much louder fans when they kick in). Initially I thought that was great, until after an extended play (1hr or so) I seem to have hit a thermal barrier of some sort. Frame rates droped massively, everything was choppy. Uppon exiting the game, I loaded HwMonitor and the cpu temp was reported to be 75C, nvidia temp 68C.
    I read some other threads here, and I saw HIRO mention speedfan, so I installed that, but what puzzles me is neither software detect any fans, All I see is thermal sensors.
    I did replace the HDD that came with the laptop with a Samsung 830 SSD. I used the Recovery disks to install the new O/S, so all drivers came through just fine.
    Anyways, I like the fans being quiet, but once I'm over 50C or 55C I'd like this thing to start moving some serious dust. Is there a way to control their profile? The only option I saw was both in Bios and in Power Manager under "System Settings" there's an option "Optimize fan control to" and I have it set to Maximum Performance.
    Thanks in advance,
    -Phil

    Hey PhilZJ,
    Hey so Other people have an issue with speedfan not showing the fans and just temps you can use TPFancontrol if you want. On my T430 TPFancontrol shows temp of 53c and fan speed during start up but without pushing my temp past 55c the fan never kicks in or so TPF says being at RPMS stay at 0. Could I suggest you download TPFcontrol and run your game? See what temp and the RPMS your fan kicks up to? I would but playing games at work is frowned upon.
    Best Regards,
    Hiro
    P.S. So if you set TPFancontrol to manual at setting 1 you get RPMS of 3434 RPMS, at 7 you get 5000+ RPMS.
    Did you find a post Awesome? A response just Outstanding? Kudo them!

  • Help with Fan Speed/Temperature Monitoring - 875P Neo Series 2.0

    Hi
    My mobo manual doesn't explain the monitoring facilities available on this board and I would like confirmation of the following:
    My P4 Northwood CPU Fan as supplied with P4 is connected to CFAN1 and provides monitoring of temperature and fan speed and also permits fan speed control.
    My Northbridge Fan as supplied with mobo is connected to NBFAN1 and provides monitoring and  control of fan speed.  No temperature monitoring available.
    My mobo provides monitoring of system temperature but doesn't say how this is measured and at what location.   
    There are two other 3-pin fan headers on the mobo; one is labelled SFAN1 with Gnd, +12V and the third pin NC and the other is labelled PFAN1 with Gnd, +12V and Sensor pins.
    My new Antec 500W SmartPower 2.0 PSU has a monitoring cable that is wired with a black Gnd wire and a blue Sensor wire and, according to the Antec manual, is supposed to provide fan speed monitoring if connected to PFAN1 - I have tried this and get no information showing in either SpeedFan or Sandra.   ??? 
    My new Case fan, an Antec SmartCool, also has a monitoring cable but only has the third pin wired, presumably a sensor wire, and presumably could also be attached to PFAN1 instead of the PSU signal connector to provide fan speed monitoring.   ???   Obviously I cannot connect both the PSU and Case Fan sensor cables to the mobo because the SFAN1 connection has no sensor pin connected; I presume this one is just a power supply to a fan as an alternative to using a supply line direct from the PSU.
    Can anyone advise me on the correct use of the PFAN1 and SFAN1 connectors and what they are capable of.

    - System temperature is measured at the Winbond W83627HF sensor chip located in front of your PCI slots.
    - PFAN1 does indeed monitor PSU fan speed if the PSU has a fan speed reporting header.  Not supported by some monitoring software (if Speedfan can't detect it, it doesn't support it.  At least not until Alfredo's next revision).
    - SFAN1 provides power only, no monitoring.
    - Try a different monitoring software and see if it can detect the sensor monitoring your PFAN1.  There are other monitoring software out there you can try, such as the CoreCenter that came with your motherboard, or Motherboard Monitor 5 or PCWizard (though you cannot adjust fan RPM through those programs).

  • MSI P6NGM-L system temperature and processor fan speed

    Hi folks,
    I've got a MSI P6NGM-L board that is reaching a system temperature of 46ºC-47ºC at everyday load (not playing games or doing heavy work... just browsing, email, text editor, etc). My case has got a frontal and rear 120mm (exaustor) fan, and my processor (Core 2 Duo E7200), an Akasa AK-965BL cooler. My graphics board is a XFX Geforce 9800GT with Zalman FC-ZV9 cooler. Overall temperature is just fine, except for the system temperature, that is 32ºC when the system is turned on and is cold, and reaches about 47ºC after some time and using. I disabled the onboard NVIDIA on BIOS, but that didn't make any difference. Is that temperature OK for my configuration, or somehow high?
    I thought about taking off the northbridge heatsink and applying Arctic Silver 5 in it, but I don't know if that would make any difference, and it would give me a big job, because I would have to take the board off... so I don't know if it's worth.
    Another question, is P6NGM-L board PWM compatible? I tried using speedfan to control the processor's temperature but it says it's at 100%, and I know the cooler is in silent operation. If so, what software should I use to control the processor fan?
    Thanks for any help

    I don't have a way to measure my room's temperature, but it's quite hot... something like 26ºC.
    I thought that with all the cooling I've got inside my case the system temp would get lower, but it is still the same under normal load, even since my case had only one exaustor and stock coolers.
    What about the processor's fan speed? Can I really change it by software? I plan to do some overclocking, so I would like to do tests with the processor cooler in full speed... I've googled all the way around, but couldn't find substancial information about P6NGM-L support for that.
    Thanks
