HI Mo
I just hope the motherboard isn't faulty, is that possible?
I think the fans are connected to the power supply, not
quite sure though.

Adrien

hello adrien.
as i said, your motherboard sensors could be reporting 0 RPM
because the
fans do not provide a sensor readout and are connected
directly to the
power supply, or the software you're using could be
reporting 0RPM to
indicate that the fans are not installed or connected
directly to the
mainboard to provide a readout. without looking at your
computer while
its on, its difficult to make any assumptions as to what's
going on. the
majority of smaller motherboards only have connections for 1
or 2 extra
fans with a sensor readout function. ask paul if the fans
have a molex
connection or weather they're using a 3 pin mainboard
connection to get
their power. chances are they'll be molex which means
they're wired
directly to the power supply.
all the best,
Mo.

Hi Mo again
Just mulling this over, if my power supply was to fail or,
if my power supply was to fail, it wouldn't stop the fans
working, I assume it would stop working altogether, it
runs
my drives ok so I assume it is ok, what else would stop
the
fans from working? It is strange. Is it easy to up-grade
the
bios?

hi adrien.
it looks like all of your fans are either jammed or
they're
not
connected properly so as to provide a fan status readout
to
the
software. some fans are connected directly to the power
supply so you
have no idea when they fail initially. yes, it is a very
good idea to
get it fully checked out. dust build up could've caused
the
problem,
though you'd have to be in an extremely dusty house for 4
fans to fail
unless they were crap quality in the first place!
all the best,
Mo.

Hi Adrien.
You could try HW Monitor. link is below. that seems to be
fine regarding
your CPU. if its just warm that's normal for any
computer.
is it an AMD?
they always tend to get hotter...

cheers,
Mo.

Hi Mo
I have copied this from my other pc via dropbox, the cpu
temperature is fluctuating from 69 to 91 c, not sure
which
one you need. At present the top isn't too hot, just
warm.
Is there a better program than speedfan for monitoring
the
internal temperatures etc please.

hi adrien.
what's the current temperature? ideally it should be
between
30 degrees
C and 50 degrees C. i've always disliked norton
utilities,
so they're
probably sucking up resources and making your PC run
hotter.
finally, is
it an AMD by any chance?
cheers,
Mo.

Hi
I have a few questions regarding my desktop. I had a
new
power supply fitted to my desktop last year, I have
just
noticed this morning, after running the desktop for a
period
of time, perhaps a few hours, my desktop gets quite
warm
on
top, the power supply was replaced last year because
the
fan
in the old one seized up. I have checked the fans below
the
power supply, I think there are two fans below, they
seem
to
be putting out cold air although this morning they were
putting out a lot of warm air, I have just checked the
side,
there is air coming out of the side vent too. At first
I
thought my cpu fan may be playing up but I am not quite
sure
how I would know this. I had a few problems with my pc
on
Thursday, it wouldn't shut off or shut down, I rolled
it
back and this morning I installed norton utilities and
found
several errors, in fact several hundred and fixed them.
I
installed speed fan, the temperature of the cpu seems
to
be
a bit high, again I am not sure what the temperature
should
be, I turned the pc off for the afternoon, let it cool
right
down but I put it back on at 4 pm, after 2 hours it is
getting warm again. Is this normal? Should I be
concerned?
There is some air coming out of the power supply itself
but
not a lot. What should my cpu temperature be? I assume
that
if anything serious went wrong my pc would shut off to
protect itself? Also listening to it it sounds a bit
noisy
but it could be vibration on my desk. I have it sitting
on
a
carpet tile. The desktop is one I had built a few years
ago
in 2012, I use windows 7 pro on it. I may be worrying
for
nothing but I pick up on noises and this doesn't quite
sound
right to me.

Adrien
