Should I set my PC fans to full speed?

The faster the fan turns, the more resistence it has to endure on both the ballbaring and the motor behind it. Although a fan is tested for a prolonged duration at maximum speed, the manufacturer expects the fan to not always be on nor being at maximum speed. So it will wear down the fan.

Is it bad to run computer fans at 100\%?

It is Not bad to run your PC fans at 100\%. PC fans are considered as, “throw aways” because they cost so little to replace. Most fans cost about $5, some are higher but still well under $100, which makes it a throw away. Heat can destroy your PC if not dissipated correctly.

Is it okay to Max fan speed?

No, it will not hurt your laptop by any means. But it will be noisy. And running your fans at max capacity is only necessary if you experience “overheated shutdowns”. Since it is a predator 17, it will be designed with high performance cooling system unlike some budget “gaming” laptops.

Do more fans increase FPS?

Unless you have high GPU temps (see GPU-Z), then there is no point getting more case fans. Even then the benefits will be minimal. Just so long as you have either a neutral or positive air flow configuration you should be fine.

Does higher RPM mean better cooling?

OP, the short answer to your question is that yes, by far the single biggest determination in the cooling performance of a rad fan will be the RPM. The best fan in the world running at 1000RPM will never cool as well as a crappy fan at 2000RPM (assume same size fan).

Do fans affect PSU?

Case fans usually use 1.8 Watts and are rated at 12 Volts. The molex connector that is usually used on the case fans is 12 Volts by standard (same as your Hard Drive and Optical Drives usually use). Unless you are adding 50 fans I doubt you have to worry about the power supply. You will be fine with the 500 Watt PSU.

What RPM should my PC fans be at?

Usually around about 900ish rpm, fans will create enough noise to be somewhat audible, and the higher the rpm, the louder that gets. If you’ve ever heard an 8000rpm Delta server fan, you’d understand.

What is a good RPM for PC?

You want something like 600 to 800 RPM while browsing, netflix etc and up to 1200 to 1400 RPM when doing high load stuff.

Is 1600 RPM good for CPU fan?

While looking at the main window of any fan control program you might see fan RPM around 2000 to 3000. For gamers when their CPU temperature reaches 70C, setting RPM at 100\% is the ideal CPU fan speed. At 50C to 55C the normal CPU fan speed should be around 50\% of total RPM.

What RPM should my PC fans be?

Flayed said: 2000 RPM fans are loud. 6000 RPM fans are crazy loud. You want something like 600 to 800 RPM while browsing, netflix etc and up to 1200 to 1400 RPM when doing high load stuff.

Is 1200 RPM fan enough for CPU?

Is 1000 – 1200 RPM is a normal CPU fan speed? Most CPU fans run at the speed of 5000 RPM. In that case, the 1000 to 1200 RPM is a bit low if you want your system to be cool at once. For instance, small fans might run at 3000 to 4000 RPM and transfer the same amount of fresh air that a large fan does at 1000 to 2000RPM.
