Hi all, my CPU fan on my SK-6 died while my computer was running. I wasn't in the room when it died; I was out having a smoke, but when I returned my room was very, very quiet. At first I thought ...

You can edit the CPU fan speed in the Windows 8 power options if you need to increase the fan speed to ensure that the CPU stays cool. Changing the fan speed is a simple and straightforward task.

We talk about what you can do if your Windows computer power supply fan (PSU) is not working or spinning on startup. Check the PSU fan cable, Test the PSU, etc.

We take the average and maximum CPU temperature across various stress tests using an Intel Core i7 14700K, with a Maximum Turbo Power of 253 W, which we run for extended periods.

Select the fan you would like to turn up and press "Enter." Choose the desired speed from the list (for example: "400 RPM" or "500 RPM") and press "Enter" again to save the setting.

In all but the lowest-power, passively cooled systems, you’ll likely find at least four fans: an intake fan, an exhaust fan, a CPU cooling fan, and a power supply unit (PSU) cooling fan.

Where lengths are concerned, it comes down to the 650mm SATA power cable, the 400mm splitter cable to power the radiator fans, and the 400mm pump/CPU fan cable. Compatibility is broad for both camps.

I don't want no stinking fan at all. And I can't disable that in the BIOS.<BR><BR>So I figure I should ask if anyone here knows if I can fake a fan by putting a resistor on the CPU fan power header?
