I'm putting a computer together for someone, and this is my first go with an LGA775 board (ASUS P5B-VM SE). When I turn the power on, the CPU fan spins up for about three seconds, stops, then spins some more. Is this normal operation for the type?
After that, does it just work normally and you can boot into Windows etc?
Try going into the bios and turn off whatever fan speed settings there are.
And then have no fans running at all?elite.mafia wrote:

He means turn off the thing that changes the speed of your fan depending on how much the CPU is used. I temporarily forgot what it's called and I'm too lazy to reboot my computer to tell you.buLLet_t00th wrote:

No, turn off the setting that changes the fan speed. Making the fan run at full speed, all the time.buLLet_t00th wrote:

Yeah, it's just on boot.leetkyle wrote:

Hmm. I did consider that, but I can't think of any reason why that would occur. Guess I'll have to give it a look.elite.mafia wrote:

That's what I do, high speed, all time .elite.mafia wrote:

It's really better to leave it as is, because the fans won't wear out as fast if they run slow (Or stop) when the system is on idle. And it's nice to hear a silent computer.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
