Hi everyone,

 

Im in a deep panic here about my new system that i have just bought. The fan speeds seem to be very high and I wish to overclock my system pretty soon but if the fan speeds are like this, i feel it may be too risky.

 

Any advice on what i have done wrong?

 

Here is a pic of the BIOS

Don't measure temps and fan speeds in your BIOS. Your PC isn't idle until its booted completely into Windows. Use something like hardware monitor to check temps etc once you've booted up.

I think thats just telling you the fan could be at its highest speed while its monitoring it, i would not panic as your temps seem ok but before you overclock make sure you have a half decent cpu cooler and not a stock intel one.

 

One way to look at it is, the faster the fan the more air is moved the the cooler things will be, the downside is there could be more noise but if you are using the cool and quiet features motherboards have then it could be throttling back the fans until more heat is generated.

Brilliant, thanks for all your help fellas. Im going to be a right pain now...does anyone know how to overclock my system to about 4.5 ghz? Literally have no idea. I have a really decent cooler so thats not a problem.

This is an automatic message.

Sorry for putting it in the wrong section. Does anyone please have any ideas on how to overclock a I5 2500K on an asus P8Z77-V motherboard?
