How to disable P4 stock HSF fan throttling

[Chuck232]

I remember reading this somewhere here, but for the life of me, I cannot find it. I used the search tool and everything and came up blank. So could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks a lot!:)

umm do you mean the automatic fan speed thing? it can be changed in your bios.

No I remember reading something like removing the sticker on top of the fan then doing something with the thing underneath.. can't remember exactly.

EDIT: IIRC, it was supposed to give you a lot more than the usual ~2500RPMs.

Uhhh... hmmm... Since the pics are now down, does anyone have pics that show...? I think I found the hole (well, at least there's the soldered area underneath), but there's no traces connecting to a resistor. I do see a resistor right beside it though, so I'm gonna try that.

BTW, this is a P4 2.4C retail fan.
