I have a CPU fan that runs all the time at around 4,100 rpm.
This is completely unnecessary when the weather is cool. I believe a speed
of about 3,000 should be ok at present.
Is there any such program around? I know about SpeedFan but I think
it's a primitive piece of work. The CPU needs a delicate touch.
I did a search and found

Thanks again Paul. I haven't read the above yet. Today I
used the Intel Active Monitor and it has a window called
Set Sensor Thresholds. There all the voltages can be allowed
to vary a little e.g. 12V is set to vary from 13.2 to 10.8. Same
for CPU core (+1.52V), set to go from 2.325 to 0.725.
There is no variation for the processor fan.
Back tomorrow :-)...

Speed changes can be attempted on SpeedFan but they do nothing and my CPU fan is still running at about 4,300 rpm. The BIOS has a variable setting for the fan or fans but it seems to be dead too. Personally, I'd just solder a 2W, 68 Ohm resistor in series with the power lead......
