H50/i5 2500k fan speed

[Livestrong]

Hey,

So i just put together my rig. i5 2500k with an h50 on it. Now i have some software monitoring the fan speed and temps. The temps are around 34 degree at idle (is this ok?) but the fan speed is running at 100% all the time is this right?

Thanks in advance for your help

34 degrees is great at idle, and yes they're running at 100% unless you use speedfan or something similar to adjust the speed. If you do, make SURE you're adjusting your fan and not the pump, that can cause some serious damage.

I ran prime95 for about 2 hours and it was just under 55 for most of it

if it ain't broke don't fix it, seems all is well with load temps

if noise is a issue then install fan control only on the fan circuit and find you sweet spot ,,silent and cool

if you need more info on how to do this just ask

Sorry, I should have updated this thread. I figured out how to edit the fan speed in the bios (yes, the fan no the pump). It now runs at 25% fan at idle and still around 33-34 degree.

Thanks for all the help everybody. This is a great forum.
