<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt">That’s not
fast enough. You'll want 3000 to 4000 rpm. To keep noise
down, using the 4-wire fans that support variable speeds can
help if your motherboard supports that option. It will have
a 4 pin connector for the cpu fan if it does.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt">Its possible
you already have that option in the bios and its set too
low. There are settings for target temperature and fan speed
when it reaches that temp.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;color:black">Since
the fan is running so slowly, I'm betting you don’t need to
replace the thermal grease...<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Thanks I will order a new fan. I will let you know how this works
when I get installed. Funny I have had this computer for several
years with no alterations. I just lately installed temp. readout
software so did not notice broblem earler. Befor I was dumb and
happy. Go figure.<br>
