i was wondering if there was any software out there that allowed me to control my CPU fan rpm. i have a stock fan that came with CPU and it should run about 2000rpm,and it runs at 1100,there anyway to tell if its losing power anywhere? or it just might be a crappy fan because its stock? my cpu temp usually runs at 105F for the first few hours its on. then goes up to about 113F my computer temp stays at a good 91F because i have two fans blowing air out. also i was wondering,since i have a fan built in the side of my case blowing air in,could that cause my cpu fan to slow down?

Your temps are fine & so is the stock HSF. Check your BIOS to see if there's a fan control setting ASUS A7N8X-X Athlon XP 1800+ 8.5 x 200MHz 1024MB PC3200 2.5-3-3-7 Asus A9550GE/TD 128MB WinME/WinXP Pro SP1

i found a program on my mobo cd. and the fan runs under 1100 rpm,and it keeps beeping giving me a warning that its running too low,so obviously the fan cant be running that well.

If you have a ducted fan in the side panel blowing on the CPU fan, I can guess it may cause the CPU fan to slow if it is blowing hard enough. Try unpluggung the side fan or reversing it and see what happens. Rule #1 Good computers don't go down. Rule #2 There is no such thing as a good computer.

yea,i am actually going to do that now. i was just thinking about that and coming to see if anyone posted something about it,surprisingly u posted the exact same thing i was thinking lol.

I have a bit of experience here... 1. A side panel fan is too far away to speed up or slow down a hsf mounted on the cpu. 2. A side panel fan can certainly disrupt airflow thru the case and hurt cooling efforts. 3. A side panel fan can make you think the motherboard, memory or cpu temps are lower than they really are. Blowing cool air on a motherboard mounted temp sensor can give an erroneous reading. 4. An additional fan mounted pretty close to the cpu heatsink fan will increase the speed of that fan...about 200-300 rpm. This would also likely hold true if a side panel fan was ducted directly to the hsf. Bottom line; jam is correct...you don't have a problem. Rick is probably incorrect just because I've never seen a hsf slow down when more air pressure is applied to it. But, he's also correct that you should unplug and/or reverse the flow direction to see if your temps change. We want good basic airflow from the bottom front area of the case up to the power supply area...more often than not, a side panel fan screws up that airflow unless ducted directly to the heatsink with some sort of a tube or other aftermarket product.
