How to increase rpm of processor fan - HP Pavilion dv6000z Notebook

Have you checked the BIOS? The BIOS on this board has a section called Smart Fan. It's in a part of the BIOS called PC Health Status. The fan's response to increased processor temperature is controlled by something called Easy Tune. If the processor is overheating and you can't hear the fan running flat-out to cool it, the RPM needs to be increased.
Another thing to check is the heat sink to processor contact. In order to get good heat transfer from the processor to the heat sink the whole top of the processor needs to be coated with a thin film of heat sink compound and the sink needs to be correctly aligned and making good contact with the processor.
If all of this proves fruitless, you can set the BIOS to optimized defaults by pressing F7 while in the BIOS. Ultimately, as a last resort you can try F6. Of course, as you're most likely aware, you have to save and restart after each change.

remove the processor heatsink and the processor clean the surface and apply a thin layer of heat sink compound and fix back the processor and also check the processor fan is working if the processor is fauly the processor heats up quickly and shutdown the computer

my dell gx 280 fan failure how i solve it'

No, that fan is cookin'! > Spinning too fast.

The Sanyo A38001-001 from Intel, is only designed to spin in those RPM's when the Processor is REALLY Hot!

Usual RPM's are around 1750 to 1850.

A) Did you just buy and install this Heatsink/Fan combo?

1) If so, did you thoroughly clean the top of the Processor's case?
Used a scraping implement like a plastic credit card to scrape off the old Thermal Paste, and then used Q-tips dipped in Isopropy Alcohol?

[ Also know as Rubbing alcohol. 91% is best, but 70% will do in a pinch. Make sure it's dry afterward though. {91 percent alcohol, 9 percent Water, or 70 percent alcohol and 30 percent Water)

The Q-tips dipped in alcohol will wipe up the gooey mess of thermal paste. Usually takes quite a few Q-tips.

CAUTION!!
Isopropyl Alcohol is EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE!

Use in a well ventilated area with No sparks or flames present.

2) You did apply Thermal Paste, and correctly?
One small drop about the size of a large pea, in the middle of the top of the Processor's case.

Then set the Heatsink/Fan combo on top of the Processor, and tighten the screws down in a Criss-cross fashion

3) Tighten one screw down one turn. Go to the Opposite Corner, tighten that screw down one turn.
Skip over and tighten the other two screws down one turn as detailed above. You are tightening in an X pattern.

Make SURE the Heatsink's bottom is flat and level on top of the Processor's case.
If it is tilted even slightly, the heat transference won't be worth writing home to Mom about.
The Processor will overheat, and the fan will spin at high RPM's.

4) Is the Fan cable (Wires) plugged into the motherboard tightly? Plugged into the correct fan connector on the motherboard? (CPU_FAN)
Does the motherboard's Cpu fan connector have the same number of pins needed, as the fan cable connector requires?


B) If this Heatsink/Fan combo, (Sanyo A38001-001) has been installed for quite some time, check to see if the Thermal Paste has dried up, or is drying up.

Since 2004?
Yep, you better pull that Sanyo A38001-001 off, and check the Thermal Paste.
Computer unplugged from power, OBSERVE Anti-Static Precautions.
A Processor is the most susceptible hardware component to Static shock.

Clean the Processor and bottom of the Heatsink as stated above. Properly apply fresh, new Thermal Paste.

Example of Thermal Paste. (Maybe there is a 'Mom and Pop' computer store near you, that you can buy a one Processor application, for around $2)

Check for a loose Cpu fan cable connection.

Make sure the Heatsink/Fan combo is seated tightly on the Processor.

Hello, I am the technician that will be assisting you today. My name is Norman-Wynne Damstra.
Welcome to Fixya, Sajaltunes.

This indicates that your computer's processor (CPU) is getting too hot, the fan spins faster to cool it down.

What you need to do is to remove the side panel from the computer chassis and then use a vaccum cleaner and paint brush to gently remove the dust on the fan and heatsink.

Cleaning the heatsinks and the internals of your computer system will increase airflow through the system, meaning that the fans will spin at a lower RPM. In other words your fans will not have to try and push air through dust.

Take care!

Nothing ... probably ... your fan speeds up when the processor temp goes up ... the more you are doing, the more cooling you need. The processor is calling for more cooling so the fan runs faster.

If this is a concern for you, you may wish to consider adding another fan to your case. In any event, make sure your power supply fan is clean. Use a vacuum or canned air to clean.

The speed of the fan is a direct result of the voltage that is supplied to it normally 12V DC one of the simplest ways to lower the rpm and hence the noise is to use an in-line resistor to lower this to about 9V DC which will reduce you number of rpm by 1/4

9 /12 = 0.75 (3000 x 0.75 = 2250rpm)

So if you rpm is 3000rpm this will reduce the rpm to about 2250rpm , this will still be sufficient to cool the processor you will only notice about 1 degree Celcuis increase but a marked noise reduction on you PC.

available from Maplins HERE for the 7V version I can't find the 9V online sorry

One other option is to download SpeedFan from Almico which offers some support for newer mobo and the speed can be reduced by a percentage if you board is on their list.

Hope this helps.

I had a similar problem with excessive fan noise on my Dell Dimension 5150. The solution was to replace the worn heat sync compound that was between the cpu and the heat sync itself. (£0.99 ebay)

it could also be your power supply or the presence of viruses/malware

need more info....does it replicate without the battery? If it does, then it may be that the processor is overheating and shutting down the computer. Try to run with just the power adaptor and see if it happens. If it doesn't, then its probably the battery....
