Hey guys,
My home theater PC is running an old Intel Q9550. It has a pretty massive CPU cooler with the fan plugged directly into the motherboard.
I've noticed that when the CPU is being used heavily, the temps get up past 70 degrees Celsius, but the CPU fan doesn't spin any faster than 1200RPM. I've tried using Speedfan to manually set the fan speed higher, but it doesn't work.
I also tried setting the fan speed setting in BIOS to "performance mode" but it makes no difference.
Anyone have any ideas of what I could try next?
Thanks in advance!
