Another intel retail HSF question

[Mr Steveo]

Just out of curiosity

What is the max. and min. RPMs for the Intel retail HSF with the variable speed fan?

Whether Im runing Prime 95 for hours or sitting at the desktop idling, and whenther my temps are low or high I always seem to get about the same RPMs with my 2.53B CPU

So im hoping Im not at the max RPM and thats why its not increasing

If someone jsut knows the max RPM and not the min, that would be equally helpful


Thanks :)

My retail ran ran 2700 rpm all the time, no matter what. I recently upgraded from it to a Thermalright AX-478 and a mild 80mm fan (2850 rpm, 37cfm). It is just as quiet as the (virtually silent) stocker, and reduced my temps from 40 idle/45 max to 33 idle/40C max. With a stouter fan the numbers can drop a further 9-11C... if you can take the noise.

2700 all the time on yours huh? Thanks

Anyone else observe any different min and or max RPMs with the retail HSF for P4?

u can short out the thermal controller and run it at its max of 3500-3600 RPM i dunno what the lowest RPM it does but someone posted a thread about getting 3500-3600 RPM all the time and it worked! i tested it myself.
