CPU Fan & RPM...

			CPU Fan & RPM... I have an Intel P4 2.4GHZ CPU & the standard box Fan cooler that came with it. The fanâs specs are: DC12V, 0.18A. But I noticed in the Bios hardware monitoring, that the fan is spinning at only 2480RPM. Even though The CPUâs temp is at 30C, isnât the fanâs RPM, a bit too low for this CPU? Thanks in advance

			CPU Fan & RPM... Extremely slow. Try to get a fan that goes over 5000rpm

			CPU Fan & RPM... the reporting could always be wrong have you looked at the fan itself while it's running? does it seem ok?

			CPU Fan & RPM... Well is the CPU running too hot? No? Don't worry about it. If the temps with 70C, then start worrying. And Des-ROW, stop toying with the poor soul.

			CPU Fan & RPM... Yeah, those monitors aren't always accurate. Depending on your fan, it could be giving you a totally bogus value. Not to mention the fact that some motherboards automatically slow the fan down if the temp is low enough.

 Extremely slow.

No, there's no need to get a new fan to get it to run at 5000 rpm. Just hook the ground up to the -12V on your ATX power connector. That should get it up to speed... for about an hour, while it burns itself out.
