This cooling solution has a 92 mm fan with internal temperature control (TC stands for this )
I can see a thermal sensor wedged between the fins of the heatsink.
Now i am using bios speed control and this fan messes with it i think, it hardly ever spins up above 1000rpm which is the minimum rating for the fan.
Can i just "short circuit" the sensor, or should i lock the voltage to 12 V in bios and leave the fan to its own devices?

If you're happy with the noise level and the CPU temperatures, leave it alone!ursvik wrote:...should i lock the voltage to 12 V in bios and leave the fan to its own devices?

I was not happy with the temps. But now i have clipped the sensor. It runs nice and quiet until the core temp rise above 30C ( i dont trust that value, seems far too low ) Most of the time temp is lower than that so it is quiet. I think it is nicer to have the more exact and quick response to temperature compared to a sensor between the heatsink fins.Felger Carbon wrote:If you're happy with the noise level and the CPU temperatures, leave it alone!ursvik wrote:...should i lock the voltage to 12 V in bios and leave the fan to its own devices?
Only thing audible, at idle, seems to be the SmartPower 450 2.0
What is a reasonable full load core temp for a venice 3500+ ? (using cpu-BurnIn)

i believe amd specs a maximum operating of 65-70 degrees centigrade.ursvik wrote:What is a reasonable full load core temp for a venice 3500+ ? (using cpu-BurnIn)
