How to increase/reduce cooler speed on the processor
There are several possible situations when it may be necessary to set up speed (increased/decrease) fan rotation: a high noise level caused by cooling systems; the need to cope with overheating; the desire to disperse the system and.
The easiest way to fulfill the above task is using a special software that allows you to control the settings of cooling systems. On the network you can find many programs of this kind. Both paid and free.
Speed Fan
This small application has a mass of functions useful for the user.
It in real time collects information from temperature sensors, allowing you to detect overheating, shows the load on the processor and the frequency of system components.
The sequence of actions is extremely simple:
- Install the program by downloading the distribution package from the official site.
- Launch the program on behalf of the administrator (right button on the executable file and the selection of the same name in the drop.Down list) and do not go from the English version to Russian.
So you will definitely be sure that all parameters will be displayed correctly.
The first method is automatic adjustment of the rotation speed of the processor cooler (just put the mark opposite the “Automatic Fan Speed” item mainly menu).
Go from the main page to the “Configure” section, and from there to the Fan Control tab.
The speed of rotation is set by the percentage value. Choose the right one and save the changes by pressing the “OK” key.
MSI Control Center
The branded utility from the well-known manufacturer of the motherboard, which allows to accelerate the processor from under Windows, track its temperature, collect information about other components.
We are interested in the disposal of the coolers. How to reduce the speed of the fan in the computer using MSI CC will be told later:
- Install and start the program.
- We go to the Green Power section, and from there to the Advanced tab. Motherboard.
- We are looking for a point that is responsible for control over the coolers (it is only one there, so you cannot make a mistake for sure).
- Change the value to you like and save the profile in the file.
The program has two shortcomings. Firstly, it is a built-in “protection against a fool”, which does not allow to reduce the speed of rotation by more than 50%.
Secondly, new settings are not used at the start of Windows. You will have to open the program every time and repeat points 2-4.
Asus eeectl
EEECTL is a program that controls the speed of the laptop fan, which allows you to easily and at ease to change the parameters of rotation of the blades on the manufacturer’s devices ASUS.
In this case, you need to act as follows:
- Install and launch the application.
- Find it rolled into a tray icon in the right corner of the panel Start next to the clock, and click on it with the right button.
- In the drop.Down list, find the FAN item, cross it and choose one of the values expressed as a percentage of the maximum speed speed.
We described even more programs for adjusting the fan speed in our article “Happy fan in a laptop what to do”
Speedfan 4.52 (Speudfan)
Speedfan. The utility that will describe in detail the condition of your PC or laptop. In particular, the application can give you information in real time. Statistical information is issued by all vital parameters for the computer: the power mode of the power supply, the temperature of the processor and video card, the speed of rotation of the cooler, the workload of RAM and many other data).
In addition to all of the above parameters, the Speudfan program will find whether there are errors in your system that will try to fix it if possible (for example, increase the speed of the cooler to lower the processor temperature).
Well, the main feature of the Speedfan utility, as you have already guessed, is the ability to both reduce and increase the speed of the cooler on the laptop or PC, which will undoubtedly delight those users who believe that their fans are not very well cooling the system. In this case it is better increase their rotation speed.
When starting the program, the first thing that opens is the “Indicators” liner. It will collect and display all the basic information about your system. In the arsenal of the Speudfan program there is a warning algorithm that signals if the equipment works outside the normal temperature range of the processor. A sharp cooling is recorded or vice versa.
Such events are marked on the monitor screen with a special shortcut, in the form of a light, which should pay attention to the user if the equipment functions in non.Standard temperature conditions.But it is not worth it to treat such alerts, since the equipment is characterized by heating, and the Speudfan program will emphasize the changes that have occurred even with a deviation from the norm in one degree.
Fan Control By Rem0o. Control your PC’s Fans
In such cases, look into your device’s passport and find what temperature for the processor is considered normal to be in complete calm and not worry when changing the normal temperature of the processor.
If you want to analyze the state of a hard disk, then for this purpose in the speedfan there is a diagnostic function using “S.M.A.R.T “. This type of test has 2 operating hours. This is extended and short. Upon completion of the hard drive diagnosis process, an appropriate graph with errors (if they are found) appear, which are displayed in the form of icons: green, orange and “Stop” icon with white bricks.
What does each label mean at an intuitive level. The first is all good, the second. Works at the limit and the third label indicates the presence of malfunctions.Speedfan program (Speudfan) can be downloaded in Russian for free, the only thing that will have to be done is to switch the language from English, if English is installed by default.
The main purpose of the free Speedfan program is that the utility performs detailed monitoring for cooling the system, and this program is used in cases where there are serious suspicions regarding the overheating of microcircuits. In any case, if it reveals problems in overheating, it will try to increase the speed of the cooler on the laptop or PC.
Setting up automatic control of the cooler of laptop
To include automatic control, sliders must be moved to the right to the stop, the value of “Auto” will appear. Now Notebook Fan Control will change the speed of rotation depending on the temperature, and this behavior can be configured: click on the “” button (where the laptop model was chosen) and then “Edit”.
On the Basic Configuration tab, the “Critical Temperature” parameter is changed. A critical temperature at which the maximum cooler speed (100%) will automatically turn on.
This number is pulled automatically for the selected laptop model, but I recommend not to leave a value above 85 degrees, the laptop will last longer!
We go to the Fan Configuration tab, click on the only line in the table and click “Edit”:
Next, go to the Temperature Thresholds tab (temperature thresholds).
A comfortable window with sliders appears using a double click on a line. Then everything is simple, for each range of the laptop processor, the rotation speed is set:
For example, I have indicated that at a temperature of 35 to 50 degrees, the speed of 30 will be applied.3% to cool the processor. After making changes, click “OK. Save. Apply. Enabled “
Do not touch other parameters in the program, t.To. This can lead to hanging the system, if you do not know what you are doing!
Automatic launch of the program
In the main window of the NBFC program, click on the gear icon in the lower right corner:
- “Start with Windows”. The program will load with Windows
- “Close to try”. If you turn or close the program, it will fall into a system tray (next to the watch) and will show the current speed of the cooler, while it will not take a place on the task panel
- “Tray icon color”. The color of the icon value
Watch the video for working with the program:
Speedfan cooler control program
This is a multifunctional and completely free program. Probably, I’ll grieve a little at once, saying that this program does not work on all laptops, but you can try, and will not adjust the revolutions of those fans that the motherboard from BIOS does not know how to control. For example, from my BIOS you can enable the Smartfan cooler control function only for the central processor. Although you can watch current turnover for two more. There is another program to control the laptop cooler.
Otherwise, the following situation may occur. At the time of loading the Speedfan program, current turns are read and accepted for maximum. Accordingly, if by this time BIOS does not untwist the fan to maximum revolutions, then the program will not be able to do this.
It so happened to me that at the time of loading the program, the cooler on the processor was spinning at a speed of 1100 rpm, and Speedfan could not set more value. As a result, the processor heated to 86 degrees! And I noticed this by chance when, at the time of the heavy load, I did not wait for the noise from the fan. Fortunately, nothing burned, but the computer could no longer turn on.
Launch and appearance of the program
Download and install the application from the official site.
At the first launch, a regular window will arise with a proposal for help on the functions of the program. You can put a checkmark so that it does not appear anymore and close it. Further, Speedfan considers the parameters of microcircuits on the motherboard and the values of the sensors. A sign of successful execution will be a list with current values of fan speed and components temperatures. If the fans are not found, then the program cannot help you with anything. Immediately go to Configure. Options “and change the language to” Russian “.
As you can see, the processor load and information from voltage sensors are also shown here.
The “1” block has a list of detected sensors of the rotation speed of coolers with the names FAN1, FAN2, and their number can be larger than there are actually (as in the picture). We pay attention to the values, for example, FAN2 and the second FAN1 have real indicators 2837 and 3358 RPM (revolutions per minute), and the rest are in zeros or with garbage (in the picture 12 RPM this is garbage). We will remove extra extra.
In the “2” block, the detected temperature sensors are shown. GPU is a graphic chipset, HD0 is a hard drive, CPU is a central processor (instead of a CPU in the TEMP3 picture), and the rest of the garbage (cannot be 17 or 127 degrees). This is the lack of the program, what needs to be guessed where (but then we ourselves will rename the sensors as it should). True, on the site you can download known configurations, but the procedure is not simple and complicated by English.
If it is not clear what parameter is responsible for, then you can see the values in some other program to determine the parameters of the computer and sensors, for example AIDA64 and compare with those that the Speedfan program determined to know exactly what speed and temperature readings (on the video under the article I’ll show everything).
And in the “3” block, we have Speed01, Speed02 speed adjustments to us, with which you can set the rotation speed as a percentage (can be shown as PWM1, PWM2, look more on the video). So far, we need to determine which Speed01-06 which fanx affects. To do this, we change the values of each from 100% to 80-50% and we look at whether the speed of any fan has changed. Remember which Speed which fan has influenced.
I repeat that not all fans will be regulated, but only those that the motherboard from BIOS can manage.
SPEEDFAN setting
So we got to the settings. Click the “Configuration” button and first of all we will call all the sensors with clear names. On my example, I will programatically manage the processor cooler.
On the “Temperature” tab, we find a processor temperature sensor in the previous step (I have TEMP3) and click on it first once, and then after a second again. Now you can enter any name, for example, “CPU TEMP”. In the settings below, we enter the desired temperature, which the program will maintain with a minimum possible speed of rotation of the cooler, and the temperature of the alarm at which the maximum speed is included.
I set 55 and 65 degrees, respectively, but for everyone it is individual, experiment. At a highly low temperature, fans will always spin at maximum speeds.
Next, unfold the branch and remove all the checkmarks, except for the Speed0x that regulates the Fanx processor (we have already identified this earlier). In my example, this is Speed04. And also remove the checkmarks from all other temperatures that we do not want to see in the main window of the program.
On the tab, the fans simply find the right fans, call them as you want, and turn off unnecessary.
We go further to the “speed” tab. We stand on that Speed0x that is responsible for the desired cooler, rename it (for example, in CPU Speed) and set the parameters:
- Minimum. The minimum percentage of the maximum speed, which the program will be able to establish
- Maximum. Respectively, the maximum percentage.
I have a minimum cost 55%, and a maximum of 80%. It’s okay that the program will not be able to set a value by 100%, because on the “temperature” tab, we set the threshold value of anxiety, in which 100% of the revolutions will be forcibly. Also, for automatic control, we do not forget to put the “Auto change” show.
In principle, that’s all. Now we turn to the main Speedfan window and put the checkpoint “Auto-skiing of the ventilations” and enjoy automatic adjustment of the speed of rotation the first time can not be optimally configured for ourselves, experiment and leave suitable parameters, it’s worth it!
The manufacturer utilities (usually for gaming devices)
Powerful gaming laptops (PC) most often go with special. SO from the manufacturer (and usually in its options there is a detailed setting of coolers). In this case, it makes no sense to mess with Speedfan (especially since it may not get access to the cooler).
As an example, you can pay attention to laptops from ASUS or MSI (of course, this is no exception, just them are very significant!). Using the utilities Myasus and Dragon Center, you can configure a lot of “thin” parameters: including the work of coolers (see. Tab “FAN SPEED”).
FAN Speed - Dragon Center speed (Dragon Center)
Most often, the “FAN Speed” parameter for manual setting must be translated into “Advanced” mode (expanded).
FAN Speed - We transfer to Advanced (T mode.E. Advanced settings)
And then adjust the cooler as you need it. For example, if summer has come (it became hot outside the window) and you loaded a new game hit, you should add capacities ☝.
Manual adjustment of the quilted culer (GPU) and CPU (CPU)
Of course, different manufacturers may have their own solutions. Dragon Center is only an example.
How to configure a cooler in MSI AFTERBurner
It is easy to work in this program, as there are pop.Up tips.
The schedule with the scale displays the speed of the cooler as a percentage and the lower scale of the chip temperature. Moving the gray points on the schedule curve, you can control the speed of the coolers, setting values to your hearing and experience. In case of noise, the curve should be lowered to reduce the speed of the fans. There is no universal tuning curve in the graphics.
Most modern laptops, with the exception of some ultrabooks with ATOM, Celeron, Pentium or Core M processors, capable of cooled passively, have a cooler inside, or even not one. The presence of the cooler itself is understandable. Both the processor and the video card require active heat removal. But many manufacturers do not adjust the dependence of the cooler revolutions on the temperature of the components in the laptop, which leads to the fact that the laptop begins to make noise even with a slight load. Given the fact that laptop coolers are noisy loudly and unpleasant (by the way, they called the problem. Fan noise), and the temperatures are extremely far from critical. There is a desire to slow down in order to sit in silence. Of course, you will have to pay an increased heating for this, but usually the game is worth the candle.
I will warn in advance. There is no universal software method for all laptops. However, there is a theoretical, working on all models. From it and. The table of the temperature and the temperature itself is usually either sewn in the EFI, or in the EC registry. Therefore, in theory, you can remove the dumps of bios, find this table, change values and flash BIOS again. However, there are a lot of problems. It is far from always possible to remove BIOS, but by removing. To decipher. And even editing it, often users are faced with the fact that the flashier (the program that sews BIOS) refuses to “sew” the modified BIOS.
A less universal way, but still supporting a lot of laptops. This is the use of a free Notebook FAN CONTROL program. You just need to download it, start it, select your laptop from the list and or apply the recommended temperatures and speed values, or set your own:
You can see the list of all supported laptops here, but even if your model is not, still download it and try the configuration file from other models: often manufacturers use similar coolers.
If, nevertheless, no config is suitable. The turnover of the cooler of some laptops (these are almost all the Dell and HP models, as well as some others) can be set in the Hwinfo64 program. To do this, run it in Sensors mode and click on the cooler icon below:
If in this program the turnover cannot be adjusted, then alas. You can write in support of the incident of the laptop and ask him to change the temperature table, but usually manufacturers do not go to such a step. You can also write program creators higher. They can also help (especially if you drop them the dumps of BIOS).
Management of the culer of the video card
To control the speed of rotation of the quilting coolers, you can use the appropriate tool drive tool or a third.Party program specializing in this. We are interested in the latter, t.To. They are usually not tied to video cards of a particular manufacturer (although there are such). The most famous utility from this category is MSI AFTERBurner. We will work with her.
- We launch the MSI AFTERBurner program on behalf of the administrator.
- The adjustment tools we need are the lower left corner in the “fan” unit. By default, the option of automatic control of the fan rotation speed operates in automatic mode. Therefore, first of all, it needs to be switched to manual control mode, for which you need to squeeze two buttons. “cars” (the one with the letter “a”) and “determined by the user” (with the image of a man):
Perfect Rotation Speed
- Immediately after this, the Fan Speed slider is unlocked, which is located above the buttons. Moving it back and forth, you can set the required speed of rotation of the culer of the video card as a percentage.
As in the case of Speedfan, in MSI AFTERBurner, you can also automate the control function of rotation of the cooler from the video card. This is the same as leaving the “Auto” button, only the user sets the fan rotation speed when the video card is heated to a certain temperature.
