Fan Speed Control Software?

[Auggie2k]

Could anyone tell me if there is software I can download (free or pay) to control my fans RPM speed?

I know my motherboard could support it because she's a real fancy one that has about 4 fans already.

It's a Gigabyte GA-8S661FXM-F which looks like this and it's in this here little fancy case (and I got this all for free LOL!)

Any help would be really great because it's a tad bit noisy for my liking :icon_thum

this really a nice program, cause i notice most of the geeks, technician, etc. i saw in their desktop (in most of forum)

I used Speedfan. It's pretty decent.

I too have tried speedfan, it was recommended to me in one of my posts too. I didn't notice much of a change when using it though. I was having trouble with my processor fan making too much noise. I found out it was just seated improperly.

Thanks for the replies and the tips. Speed Fan didn't make a difference at all really but I've eBay the hardware controller.

If the speedfan didn't make any difference, theres some things to check:

If you have disabled bios control of the fans - this will disable speedfan access to change it.
Also, check in forums about your motherabord and speed fan - you might be changing the wrong fan speed!

Had the same problem as an above posteer said though, my fan was just whiney, and speed altering didn't do too much

you could try some wd-40

Doesn't taste very nice I must say. How about I use it on the fan? :)

My fans loud as hell, sounds like a jet taking off, but it don't bother me too much, as long as it keeps the processor cool whats the problem, run it as fast as you can, save a possible overheatiing shut down, mine did that for the first few weeks, took me a while to figure it out (D'OH), fitted a 75cfm fan & now no probs, a bit loud as I said, but the 2.1 speakers drown it out a treat.....

[Auggie2k]

It's not that I want to drown it out, I cant hear it when the TV is on like but it's just I have it idleing an awful lot of the time (our ESB is as cheap so we can) and it's just too damn noisy. It's possible its the case because it does quieten down an bit when its open (obviously) Job for the angle grinder? LOL!

I used to use one of these fan programs but got rid of it because it was turning the fan on, all the time... never would switch off!

I replace my computer fan every year or so - the noise becomes unbearable.
