ThermalTake Hardcano and CPU Fan. MoBo Compatibility

Will the Hardcano work in conjunction with MSI 865 PE CPU fan features? I see several people here have the TT case and was wondering. The CPU fan is a stock fan without a speed sensor so I'm assuming that I can use the Hardcano speed control without interferring with any elements concerning any MSI MoBo functions. Does anyone have an opiion about this? Thanks.

I have the hardcano working controlling the cabinet fans and do not have the CPU fan connected up. Call me cautious but the stock CPU and heatsink, even when O/C'd, does not get very hot. For me the issue is keeping the HDD's cool.

PS and CPU fan comes on merely by plugging in AC power

I am repairing a friends Athlon xp machine and have tested everything with extras.
I put a new MSI KM4M-V board in. The pc runs xp fine, etc., etc., however, when shut down the pc, Windows shuts down, but the ps and cpu fan stays on. Indefinitely. I have to either flip the on/off switch on the back of the ps or pull the damn plug.
What gives?
When I plug the thing in cold, same thing; the fans come on and then I press the start button whenever I want and the system posts and boots normally.
A motherboard Short? I checked the switch and even pulled the connector; the fans still come on when I plug it in.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Yes, I've let it run for hours after Windows shuts off, it simply doesn't go off.
Simply plugging it in or flipping ps switch, the same thing; ps and cpu fans come on automatically.
I've read all the APIC threads; if I were strictly having problems shutting down, maybe it be that. But it is so strange that it does it from a cold start.
Got to be some kind of short, or else a bad board.

Shutting down NB and CPU fans altogether with speedfan for p2p download overnight

Hi,
Lately I started to keep my computer on overnight for p2p downloads. Problem is, my setup is too loud, thanks to the NB fan esp. I have my computer in the same room as my bed so the smallest DB difference makes an impact on my overall sleep quality
P2P is not a cpu challenge, so right now I am trying this:
Have speedfan turn off both NB and CPU fan when CPU is below 45C.
CPU temp controls both NB and CPU fan as NB readings come from a Hawai beach.
My room is really hot, my system temp is around 40C.
It is also possible to underclock my p4 2.4 down to 1.6ghz with Clockgen.
When Speedfan turns off NBfan, the lights go off to so I am not disturbed in my sleep by the lights
Now:
Is speedfan's cpu readings dependable?? (It certainly reads different than CoreCenter)
Is stopping the NB fan bad?? Many people even remove it, but stopping it maybe worse than throwing it away in terms of airflow?
Anyhow would my NB warmup at all if you think it handles 200mhz fsb and my FSB will be only 133, so isn't my NB underclocked already, so it wouldn't warm up as much?
Should I underclock my P4 to 1.6ghz so it would keep it and the NB cool even more?
Is this a really bad idea?

ODD and CPU fans running at high RPMs

Hello!
My iMac's ODD and CPU fans are running at unusual high speeds. If I turn the computer off and on they usually run at a normal rate but start rotating at around 3700 RPM very quickly (about 1-2 minutes after the OS X has started). The CPU load is not unusually high. The HDD fan is not affected.
I have tried SMC and PRAM resets multiple times.
27'' iMac - Mid 2010 (iMac11,3)
Intel Core i7 2,93 GHz
Boot-ROM-Version IM112.0057.B01
SMC-Version 1.59f2
Thanks!

For some reason the high fan RPMs had to do with having two desktops under mission control.

CPU Temp and CPU Fan Speed

I am having a strange problem . One time I will boot the PC and CPU temp is 43 and CPU fan speed is 1308 rpm in Core Center. I do a restart system and the CPU temp is 32 to 36 and CPU fan speed 3308. Not sure if I should trust Core Center . Bios shows CPU temp 48 and fan speed of 3328. I have been reading here that there are a bunch of threads containing some kind of problem with CPU temp or fan speed. My Bios is 1.4. If anbody can give me some ideas that would be great.

Open CoreCenter on deshtop. Click where it says CoreCenter. Click Cool&Quite button. Then Click apply. This drops the fan speed back into the 1400 range and the temp will rise back to the 40s.

AMD X2 4200+ and CPU Fan

Its been a while since I've been on this forum, but I need advice on this one... I am planning on buliding a new system with a Athlon X2 4200+ (still waiting to see if AMD will sell X2 4000+ or 3800+ ). I think I'll go for an MSI K8N Neo 4 platinum board and I was wondering if the zalman CNPS7000B Al-Cu Led fit well on this particular mobo. I was also wondering if the cooling, provided by the Zalman CPU fan, would be enough for an X2 CPU?
Thanks for your help,
V
P.S. Are there any problems with the nVidia integrated firewall?

For those who wish to build a AMD X2 system, gigabyte has two fans that weight 430g (respects AMD max weight specs) and that is supposed to be very efficient... Lot of positive reviews over the web... And it is silent too

1 day old Retina MBP. Battery Icon disappeared,Backlight Keyboard is INOP, and CPU fan is on full all the time. Help!?

Just got my second replacement Retina Mac Book Pro last night for another unrelated issue. I used time machine back up to restore files. I used it last night to DJ for work. NO problems everything working as normal. This afternoon when I connected the new computer to my studio external monitor I noticed something strange, when I plugged in the charger, (1) the light on the charger never lit up. (2) The CPU fan came on at full blast (3) the battery Icon was missing (4) and I noticed that my backlight keyboard mysteriously stopped working.

Take it back and have the techs test it.

GPU temperature is above 70 C, and CPU fan is above 2400 rpm

I've had my iMac for two years now. I play a lot of games and watch a lot of HD videos. In the past week, the computer has gotten a lot hotter than usual and it stutters a lot, and I feel like the two are related.
Today while playing a game I noticed that the GPU Diode reached 70 C (using iStat Pro), which I have never seen before. Therefore, the CPU fan was at 2400 rpm.
I play a lot of games, including this same one, and I have never seen the GPU this hot before, and almost never hear the fans running so loudly and so rapidly. (I can't even recall a time when I could very clearly hear the fans running.)
Could all this be a sign to a more bigger problem?

It's all settled down by now but here were some stats I posted earlier:
HD: 53
CPU: 52
Ambient: 30
GPU Diode: 71
GPU Heatsink: 66
Mem Controller: 60
Optical Drive: 52
Power supply 2: 75
Fan speeds:
Optical drive: 1110 rpm
Hard drive: 1100 rpm
CPU fan: 1421 rpm
Which part of the iMac do I blow out the dust? Do I use compressed air (which I have) or a vacuum cleaner? Do I do it through the vent at the back/top of the iMac, or open the memory bay and do it through there (and if so, do I have to take out the memory sticks first?).

I want to quiet down a P4 1.6A CPU fan and Sparkle PSU

Hi,
I want to quiet down my P4 1.6A CPU fan and PSU fan....
A) I have a MSI 845G-MAX-L motherboard with Winbond monitoring chip. I notice that the CPU fan RPM goes up when temperature goes up. Is this normal on all boards, or is this an extra nice feature specific to MSI boards with Winbond chip???
B) I've already put a FanMate to the CPU fan, and it runs at 1500 RPM, but I can still hear it.... so now I have a Zalman fan bracket (FB123) and am searching for a 80MM which has RPM sensoring, to give me some feedback in the BIOS and MBM5. Any suggestions on a quiet 80MM which has RPM sensoring.... (I've tried Coolermaster and Vantec.. they are both noisy to me.... I tried Panaflo but I want the RPM sensor so I can tell if the Winbond chip is doing it's job of speeding up the fan when the CPU temp goes up....
C) I have a Sparkle 300W-BTV PSU. Does Sparkle solder on the PSU fan tail to the pcb or do they use some pin header?? I'll probably replace the PSU fan with Panaflo. Also does Sparkle use a thermistor to control fan speed or is it just one speed? I can use the Coolermaster DAF-B82 which is quiet at startup (1000 rpm) at 20 C.
D) I am thinking about getting the OCZ P4 eliminator passive heatsink.... anyone using it or seen a review of it? Can the Alpha 8942 run in passive mode with no CPU fan? I only have the Sparkle PSU fan as the exhaust fan in my Coolermaster ATCS-200 aluminum case.
Thanks.....

My CPU runs at 37 C at idle and the CPU fan is at 2400 RPM. When running loaded (at 100% utilization after 1 hour) my CPU temp runs at 41 C and the CPU fan is at 2800 RPM. During the summer when ambient temps were very high I've seen my CPU temps at 43 C and CPU fan speed at 3000 RPM.
I read a little on the Intel Precision Cooling Technology. I believe that the Intel Precision Cooling is capable of adjusting the SYSTEM case fans (along with the CPU fan). It seems that Intel went one step further by adding in SYSTEM fans and then adding in the ability for the user to control both the CPU fan and SYSTEM fans based on temperature.
What I'm wondering is if all or most P4 motherboards adjust the CPU fan speed based on CPU temp (in real time), or is this just something new that MSI did in their later boards like my 845G MAX? Anyone have other P4 MB (other than the obvious ones by Asus and the ones which have the Intel Precision Cooling) who can comment?

"cpu fan not functioning. check fan connections and call for service."

wondered if a different failure than than "CPU fan has failed ... system will shutdown in a few seconds". I have a DX-2000 P4 desktop running XP SP3 which I just changed motherboard and CPU fan on. All fans are spinning at close to same speed. (P/S,Chassis and CPU). Not extremely fast but cant see vanes. Computer has sat for several years. Wondered what the actual test is and how fan speed is regulated. I guess temperature sensors are built into the cpu, somehow there must be a varying voltage applied to fans to change their speed and/or a measuring device to see what their rpm is. This must be controlled by the BIOS as the whole pass/fail test is. My next step is to put back the old fan and see what happens. I have a new p/s to install should be here today. Actually used but cleaned and tested. Saving a cleaning chore. Not sure if my older supply might be causing the issue with low volts.
This question was solved.

If the fan is slower than the factory fan you will have that problem.

Max Temperature of mainboard and CPU?

What's the maximum permissible working temperature (in ºC) for the mainboard and the AMD64X2 4400 CPU.
At the moment Corecenter shows:
mainboard: 41ºC
CPU: 47ºC
and CPU fan is almost at maximum: 1875rpm and NBfan: 800rpm
Is that too much?
Mainboard: MSI K8N neo 4 platinum PCB1
CPU: AMD64X2 4400 CPU
Thank you!

That NB fan speed seems a bit low... 800 rpm? Stock is 7,000rpm This might be more Core Center inaccuracy at work.
Try monitoring it with something else other than Core Center - like SpeedFan for example, & see what it says.
For some reference, here's the temps for my Neo4 Plat. PCB 1.0 w/DC Opteron running @ 2.5Ghz & 1.45v. See my sig for the other junk... These temps reflect a room temp of 77F & a well ventilated case.
CPU temps: 36-49C
chipset/system: 29-32C max.
- I've always used a Vantec Copper VGA cooler in place of the stock fan for the chipset, as I've always heard/read that the stock one is a piece of loud garbage.

GS60 2QE VS GS70 2QE | CPU Fan managment

Hello,
So i've actually ordered the msi gs70 2QE stealth silver edition.
When i unpacked it, i have been very surprised by the actual size of the device. I tried it, it is everything I expected, but the size of the notebook is too much for me.
So i decided to order the msi gs60 2QE ghost pro, which has a 15" screen with the exact same specifications, less ports, but basically, same core, same GTX970M, same ram.
I unpacked it and i am very happy about the size, everything seems better designed, and the size is just what i need.
But i had another sad surprise with this one when i turned it ON.
The computer's fan makes a lot of noise, nothing like the GS70 2QE
I don't get it, it seems like it has been configured differently.
The CPU is always around 38°C on GS60 and CPU fan run all the time at 2891 RPM.
When on the GS70, CPU is always around 48° at 0 RPM, fan run rarely at 3000 RPM to cool down for a sec.
I love a 1000 time more the GS70 configuration.
I don't understand why MSI didn't make the same on the GS60.
Is there any particular reason?
It gets really annoying when you're just quietly reading an article browsering online.
Please MSI, do something about it. It literrally kills the good experience I had on GS70 that i returned.
My feelings are mixed about the purchase I just made, when it should be excellent. All of this just due to really annoying constant fan noise

Quote from: RX-8 on 16-February-15, 08:24:30
Considering the difference of the size between GS60 & GS70, I don't think their thermal characteristics would be the same.
The size of the fan (the volume of air flow), the length of the copper pipes, the number of the fins near the outtake and etc., are all different.
here you can see diffirence
MSI GS60
MSI GS70
keep in mind GS70 picture is from a 2013 version since that version only had 2x msata + sata at that time but version 2014 and up has 3x msata slots + sata

CPU Fan Has Failed! PC will automatically power down

CPU Fan Has Failed! PC will automatically power down
HP Pavilion Slimline s3714uk Desktop PC, running windows 7.
I started to get CPU fan failure message and the PC would not boot, I opened up the case and the CPU fan seems to be connected and working.
Error message is “"ERROR: CPU Fan Has Failed! PC will automatically power down in a few seconds. Service the PC immediately to prevent damage to the PC."
I have found the following advice:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00013522&cc=uk&lc=en&dlc=en&product=3876701
However the bios version I have does not have the option to switch off the fan monitor. How can I fix this issue please: many thanks

Hi Susielee. what was the heat sink and cpu fan that the tech installed in your HP computer? I got a used HP s5120y computer from a longtime friend that is missing a processor fan but the heatsink is there.
update 2/14: never mind, my old friend forgot to give me the CPU fan, which he did a few days ago. I used a flashlight to check if the fan is working and it is but I'm still getting "CPU fan has failed" error everytime I power on the computer but the cpu fan spins okay at normal speed. replacing the cmos battery did nothing to solve the problem.
I will either replace the whole heatsink & fan before I will consider replacing the motherboard, which seem to have a least 1 ruptured capacitor on the board - that indicates some parts of the motherboard are starting to fail, like the fan sensors. The HP part number of the board printed on a sticker in the HP slimline S5120Y computer is "513426-001"
So in short replace the heatsink & fan assembly first. Then replace either the power supply and chassis fans. If those don't fix the CPU fan failed message at bootup, replace the whole motherboard.

Thing is i dont know how to enable CPU fan control/regulation ifd possible. Doesn't realy see anything anything in the mobo manual except mentioning AMD Cool’n’Quiet.
This fan i have installed is running fine but i thk it runs full speed all the time and that makes a lot of noise - not needed.
Thx for any advice/tip/hint

40 °C is fine. The minimum fan speed can be set is a % of the full capacity.
Start with 12.5% and if the fan needs to adjusts it's fan speed too often and it get's annoying you can raise it to 25% or more.

785GTM-E45 mobo: Q'n'C is enabled but CPU fan doesn't slow down

Q'n'C is on, CPU clock is down when idle but CPU fan rotates on full and makes noise. Bios fan settings cannot do anything to slowdown the fan.
Tried two coolers with same result. All coolers were with 3pin connectors while there is 4-pin jack on mobo. Bios has been updated - no result.
Any ideas?
Thank you

"Fan Power Connectors: CPUFAN1, SYSFAN1
The fan power connectors support system cooling fan with +12V. When connecting the
wire to the connectors, always note that the red wire is the positive and should be connected
to the +12V; the black wire is Ground and should be connected to GND. If the
mainboard has a System Hardware Monitor chipset on-board, you must use a specially
designed fan with speed sensor to take advantage of the CPU fan control.
Please refer to the recommended CPU fans at processor’s official website or consult
the vendors for proper CPU cooling fan.
CPUFAN1 supports fan control. You can install Dual Core Center utility that will automatically
control the CPU fan speed according to the actual CPU temperature.
Fan cooler set with 3 or 4 pins power connector are both available for CPUFAN1.
SYSFAN1 support fan control, too. You may select how percentage of speed for the
SYSFAN1 in BIOS." P2-12
"CPU Smart FAN Target
The mainboard provides the Smart Fan function which can control the CPU fan speed
automatically depending on the current temperature to keep it with in a specific range.
You can enable a fan target value here. If the current CPU fan temperature reaches to
the target value, the smart fan function will be activated. It provides several sections to
speed up for cooling down automatically.
PC Health Status
CPU/ System Temperature, CPU FAN/ SYS FAN 1 Speed, CPU Vcore, 3.3V, 5V,
12V
These items display the current status of all of the monitored hardware devices/components
such as CPU voltage, temperatures and all fans’ speeds." P3-15
Do n o t use other monitoring and fan controlling programs at the same time. There must be something the matter with the fan cable or the processor seating. 3 pins have been enough for fan control since before 2000, and as you notice on the processor fan connection, you can choose between 3 and 4 pin fan connection. Pretty silly to have such a choice if 3 pins wouldn't work.
- Heck, even the photos in the manual displays a three pin '!
