Another fan question

I'm currently running a SF2. The ratings say it runs at a max of 4800RPM but mine runs at 5300RPM. Does this mean that if I get a new fan rated at 2500RPM that my MoBo might run it at a higher level?

What mobo do you have and have you modded it? I know when I did a vdd mod on my nforce2 board (Epox 8RDA+), the fans were spinning faster (or at least their reported rpms) and how now lowered to "normal" speeds after removing the mod.

the grill on the fan might be making the fan run at a higher speed, making it turn faster than it needs to if there werent obstructions in the way of airflow

u should take the grill out

no grill on the fan.

I have an ASUS A7N8X-X with no modifications other than setting it to run the fan at full speed

yeah it depends on temps to

Why would it depend on temps? I have no heat monitor set up on my fan and I have my MoBo set to run the fan at full speed all the time.

It is normal, I have heard that some ran around 5700rpm, so it is fine, the rpm rating is estimated and correct within 10%.

DoubleJ8 · Dec 3, 2003

so, will a 2500RPM fan run up to 2750RPM or will my MB force it up to 5000RPM?

cstarritt · Dec 3, 2003

your MB will give it 12volts, and the fan will run at whatever speed it runs at with 12volts applied to it. your mobo isnt going to feed it a voltage higher than 12v unless you have modded it in some way.
