what speed are my 120mm fans running at?

3xploit · Jul 20, 2008, 09:52 PM

I have two 120mm fans strapped to my accelero s1 which are connected to psu...however I have no idea if it is running at its full 2000rpm. I didn't plug the 120mm fans into the mobo because I noticed that my 80mm fan (which is plugged into the mobo) does not run at full speed. It only runs at full speed for like 2 seconds right when I turn on the computer.

In the bios under 'fan control' there are 3 options: Processor Zone Response, Processor Zone Damping and Automatic Fan Detection.

Processor Zone Response has three options: Agressive, Normal, Slow. I have it set to aggressive.

Processor Zone Damping has two options: High and Normal. It's set at high.

Automatic Fan Detection has three options: Next boot, disable, always. It's set to always.

Nowhere in the bios does it let me directly change the speed, only those three options above.

I'm just trying to get my 120mm fans running at their full 2000rpm to cool my gts as much as possible.

If the fans are plugged on a molex connector they are using 12v so obviously running at full speed.
