Solve : fan troubles maybe?? |

Answer» first of all sorry if this is in the wrong section hey guys, i think my fan has stopped working, I can't hear it working or anything but the CPU temperature is highish (90 celsius) i tried to find out how to see if fans working or not90C. In a laptop. It's pretty incredible you managed to keep it running at that temperature. Most Tj.Max sensors in laptops automatically shutdown the system at ~85C... ...and you're still laughing... The OBVIOUS thing would be to feel for hot air coming out of the side vent. You can use http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php to monitor your fan RPMs and PWM percentage. If it's still under warranty, use the warranty. If not, just take the bottom of your laptop out and see if the fan's working. Problem solved. It may just be as simple as a dust blockage; cleaning the heatsink grill and the fan out with some compressed air should do the trick if that is the case.a BASIC inside-case clean is usually a good idea (exept laptops, unless you know your way around PCB safety and handling) If it is a DESKTOP, still under warranty, opening the case might not be the best idea. if it is outside the grasp of warranty, i would recommend the case clean, a slightly wet cloth (such as a single spray of water from a spray bottle) should be good to clean ONLY the fan or case. NOT the circuit boards. another reason for the problem could just be a loose power WIRE from the Mother Board to the fan. Solution would be to plug it back in, but caution must be taken Remember that static discharge does ruin computers, so make sure you ground yourself to the computer. The most simple way to do this is to make sure your skin is in contact with an exposed metal part of the case (usually the back of the case or the floor of the interior) However, i would not recommend taking caution, as doing the wrong thing inside the case could cause more problems. |
