    Hi all,
    I' hoping someone can come up with a suggestion. I've just updated the BIOS on my Shuttle and installed an intel 3.2Ghz processor. Everything works, except the fans are at full throttle. When I had a 2.4Ghz Celeron, it all worked fine, but now the fans never change speed and is very noisy. I've checked all the cables, and they are all connected.

    I've edited the BIOS, and set the fan speeds etc. but still to no avail. I even installedthe XPC tools, and the temp. is about 46 degrees, which is way less than the default 68 degrees.

    Does anyone have any idea?

    Thanks in advance

    Ray

    46 degrees is still quite high, check that the smart fan utility on bios isnt set to speed increase at lower temperatures. it has the tendency to give the fans more voltage than is actually needed

    I've just checked ZPC tools
    System temp 35 degrees
    CPU 34 Degrees
    Board 53 degrees
    ICE Fan speed 3835 rpm
    Chipset 4326 rpm.

    I've set the temp fan to Ulta low, but no change at all.

    4326rpm seems very high to me, its probably causing the most noise - you'l need to find a way to cool your chipset better, so the fan doesnt have to be working full throttle.
