How to improve a cooler on a laptop. How the fan speed is controlled
For temperature monitoring of the main components of the computer and for adjusting the rotational speed of the processor cooler and other fans installed in the computer. But before you start using the program, you need to install the Russian language in the program and make settings for the program.
How to change language in SpeedFan
First, you need to configure the interface in SpeedFan and make it in Russian, and for this we launch the program and close additional window under the name Hint by clicking on the Close button. Then the window of the program itself needs to click on the Configure button.
Speed up program cooler SpeedFan with an English-language interface
A window titled Configure will open. In this window, go to the Options tab.
SpeedFan crack on the Options tab On this tab, in the Language item, select Russian from the pop-up list and click on the OK button located at the bottom of the program window. After that, the window called Configure will close, and the program interface will already be displayed in Russian.
How to set up the SpeedFan program
Now you need to correctly configure SpeedFan, and for this, open the Configuration window again and go to the Options tab.
Recommended program settings On this tab, you can check the Start minimized and Minimize on close checkboxes, so that when the program starts and closes it immediately collapses and hides in the tray. You can also check the box next to Full fan speed on exit, since when the computer restarts, more energy is consumed and the computer heats up more. If you put a check mark next to the static icon item, then the program icon will be displayed in the tray instead of the temperature readings from the sensors. By clicking on the OK button, all settings will be applied.
In SpeedFan how to change the fan speed
With this program you can set the fan speed in automatic or manual mode... For the program for adjusting the cooler speed to work in automatic mode you must first set the minimum and maximum temperature conditions in which the fans will spin slowly or at full speed.
SpeedFan fan speed setting Open the Configuration window and on the Speeds tab you will see how many fans and on which devices this program can adjust the fan speed. On this tab, click on the desired fan and at the bottom of the window put a check mark next to the AutoChange item. Thus, do with the fans that you want to control.
Setting temperature modes for fan operation Then go to the Temperature tab and see that there are many sensors showing the temperature, but not all devices have fans installed. On this tab, click on the device for which you set Auto-change on the Speed tab and at the bottom of the window set the temperature limits in the Desired and Alarm items. If the temperature is lower than the set Desired, the fans will spin slowly, and if the temperature is higher than the set Alarm, the fans will start spinning at full speed. Thus, set the temperature modes for all the fans that you want to control, and when everything is ready press the OK button and the configuration window will close.
In SpeedFan, the temperature controller of the fan speed works in automatic mode To set parameters started working, you need to check the box next to the Auto fan speed item in the program window.
Video
This video, called SpeedFan How to Use the video, explains how to change the rotational speed of the cooler depending on the temperature.
Hey! You, of course, noticed that coolers in your computer or laptop do not always rotate at the same speed. When more system resources are involved and, accordingly, the heat dissipation of your computer or laptop is higher, then the fan speed increases automatically. But sometimes it is necessary to force the fans to spin faster forcibly. Today we will touch on the topic, how to increase the rotational speed of the cooler on laptop or on the computer.
How to increase the rotational speed of the cooler through the BIOS
Almost always, with minimal knowledge of the BIOS, in BIOS, you can increase the rotational speed of the cooler(both on a computer and on a laptop). What do I need to do?
- Enter bios. If you do not know, then for this you need to reboot the system and press the key " DEL"Or" F2". Try this and that, if it doesn't work, read the instructions for your motherboard. It is indicated there, as in your case.
- Next, you need to proceed to the section called POWER... Note, however, that you will have to navigate through the BIOS using the ↓ → ← buttons, and not with the mouse, as you are used to. In the POWER section, you need to look through everything and find the item with the inscription FAN... In different bios, it can be called differently, but keyword always one - FAN (fan control, Q-fan function, fan speed, etc.). Select this item and change it to Enable mode.
- Next, you will need to select the rotational speed of the cooler. Again, the maximum speed can be called differently everywhere. Include intuition in understanding English =)). Possible options: Turbo, Performance, Fast, etc.
- Now it remains to exit the BIOS (Esc) and save the changed settings when exiting.
Cooler speed control software - SpeedFan
Yes, yes, everything can be solved much easier, because there is a special cooler speed control program... More precisely, there are a lot of such programs. But we will analyze only one as an example - SpeedFan(download from the developer site).
To enable Russian go to “Configure” → “Options” → “Language” and select “Russian” there. But we advise you to work with the program on English language, so as not to run into "translation difficulties".
To change / increase the speed of the cooler, you need to go to Configure, select the "Speed" tab and select the fan you want to control.
Its speed is measured as a percentage. 0% ventilator is stopped, 100% ventilator is spinning that there is urine. You set the interest in two modes. When the computer is in quiet mode and when the computer is overloaded. It is clear that you need to put on overload 100% of the intensity of your fans, but in quiet mode, you can set at your discretion.
SpeedFan - a program for adjusting the speed of coolers
What else will be useful to know about the fan speed
The higher cooler rotation speed, thus, of course, the higher the wear of the device and its noise. More on the fan speed the power consumption of your computer depends. In any case, it is better to sacrifice a fan than other more expensive components, so don't spare the fans, because the computer loves the breeze and the coolness.
Instructions
First check the fan settings using the motherboard firmware. Turn on your computer. After the first boot menu appears, press the Delete key and wait for the BIOS menu to open.
Go to the Advanced Chipset menu. It is important to note that in certain models boards, this menu may have a different name. Find the item that displays the parameters of the fans installed in the system unit. Remember that not all coolers are configurable. Some models always rotate at a certain constant speed.
Make sure the Always Fan function is active. If the firmware allows you to set a specific speed for the fans, select 100%. Set this value for every available cooler.
Press the Esc key several times to return to the main BIOS menu. Use the arrow buttons to highlight the Save & Exit Setup field and press the Enter key. Click the Ok button. Wait for the download to complete operating system.
In situations where the functionality of the firmware is very limited, use the Speed Fan application. Install this program and run it. Wait a while until you are presented with information about the status of the available fans.
Deactivate the functions of automatic change of the rotational speed of coolers. Set the rate to 100% for each device. When working with mobile computer it is wiser not to activate maximum speeds. This will extend the life of your laptop without connecting a power source.
If you want the program to automatically regulate the operation of coolers, activate the "Auto fan speed" function. Please note that after closing the Speed Fan application, the fan speed will return to its original value.

If system unit your computer makes a lot of noise, and after turning it off, the silence in the room immediately becomes noticeable - this is not a normal situation. The noise from the computer should not exceed acceptable standards, and certainly should not interfere with your sleep or hear what your neighbor is telling you.
You will need
- - computer
- - SpeedFan program.
Instructions
Perhaps your system unit is clogged with dust (over time it happens with almost all personal computers) - clean it carefully with a vacuum cleaner. If it is clean, you may just need to adjust speed fan rotation. Launch your browser and enter the name of the program - SpeedFan in the search bar. Follow one of the first links and download the program to your hard drive. You can download the program on one of the software portals www.softportal.com... Install the program by running the setup file.
Run the program. You will need to wait a little while the program analyzes the operating system. If you find it difficult to navigate the language labels, click on the Configure button and change the language on the Options tab. Now you need to enable hardware support for regulating the fan speed on the motherboard. Click on the "Configuration" button, then - the "Advanced" button. Change the value to Software contolled and click "OK". If your motherboard determined by the program, this value will be set immediately.
This article describes a program for adjusting the speed of the processor cooler, video card and other PC elements. It doesn't matter if you need to change the fan speed due to excessive noise or overheating, SpeedFan will help you in any case. The main condition for the utility to function properly is the ability to adjust the coolers from the BIOS.
SpeedFan
SpeedFan - absolutely free program for a cooler of a video card, central processor and any other equipment with active cooling. The fan can be controlled in automatic or manual mode.
Before starting the utility, it is advisable to disable automatic speed change in the BIOS. If this condition is ignored, the correct functioning of the application is not guaranteed. After switching on the SpeedFan reads information about the fan speeds and takes these values as maximum. Hence it follows that if BIOS settings do not allow to spin the cooler to the limit, the utility will not be able to do this either.
For example, the CPU cooler was spinning at 1000 rpm when SpeedFan was turned on. The application will accept this value as an upper limit and will not be able to increase the frequency when it reaches a critical level. If the computer does not automatically shut down, its central processing unit will be damaged.
First start
After starting the program for adjusting the cooler speed will draw a window with a brief help. After studying the text, you should put a tick in front of the only item and close the window. After that, it will no longer appear on the screen.
Now the program will determine on which equipment active cooling is installed with the ability to adjust and read the sensor readings. After that, the display will automatically show a list of fan speeds and the temperature of the main elements of the PC. In addition, information about the processor load and voltage can be observed in the application panel.
To switch the language to Russian, go to Configure> Options. Set the "Language" switch to the "Russian" position. Click on "OK".
Main window
The program for adjusting the speed of coolers in Russian displays all the information necessary for the user in separate blocks. In the middle of the window there is data describing all found fan controllers. Their names - and so on. Moreover, the list may include many more coolers than there are in a PC. Some of them will display the real speed of the fans. Others will either show values equal to zero, or "garbage" (less than 1000 rpm).
Opposite the data describing the operation of the screws, there is a block of information about the temperature of the main components of the PC:
CPU - processor.
GPU is the core of the video card.
HD0 is a hard drive.
There may also be "garbage" here. To determine which values are not real, you need to think logically. For example, the temperature of the appliances in a running car is unlikely to reach 5 or 120 degrees.
This is the only drawback that the program for adjusting the rotational speed of the cooler has not lost over all the years of development. It is worth saying that the official site offers a collection of necessary utility settings for popular PC configurations. However, it is often much faster to complete all the settings manually.
The main blocks of the utility
Utility block listing Speed01, 02, etc. contains propeller speed switches. It is indicated as a percentage. The main task is to determine which switches from this block are responsible for which fans.
Go to the first selector and change its value to 20-30%. Observe the speed opposite to which "Fan" line is changing. Now change the settings for the next switch. Memorize or write down each match you find.
If you cannot identify the sensors, it makes sense to use the AIDA64 utility. Run it and SpeedFan at the same time. Change the values of the Speed switches, and in AIDA, see which particular fans start spinning at a different speed.
Configuration
Go to the "Configuration" menu. Here you can set clear names for all lines of blocks in the main window. For example, rename the CPU cooler rotation sensor to "TempCPU". To do this, click on any item in the settings, wait a second and click again. After that, the line will be highlighted, and the cursor will appear in it.
Highlight the name of the required sensor and note the lower part application windows. Here you should enter what temperature of each PC device the program for adjusting the cooler speed will consider normal. When the equipment has cooled down to this level, the fan speed will be at its minimum. The alarm temperature should also be specified. Heating up to this level will turn on the maximum speed of the cooler.
To find out which values to use, refer to the official websites of your PC device manufacturers.
Now click on the "+" next to the sensor name. Uncheck all "Speed" checkboxes. Leave only the one that matches the regulator of this device.
Go to the "Fans" tab and, if necessary, rename them the same as the sensors. Disable unused by unchecking the boxes.
Speed
For the program for adjusting the cooler speed to perform automatic control, open the "Speeds" tab. Select the line of the required fan and rename it as you see fit. Now pay attention to the bottom block of the window. There are two points here:
Quite often with long work or playing with the device, the user has the question of how to turn on the fan on the laptop to the maximum. As a standard, most models of equipment automatically regulate the activity of the cooling coolers. But sometimes this system malfunctioning and does not turn on active cooling at the right times.
To fix this problem, the OS provides auxiliary settings. To change them, you can use third-party programs, but to turn on the fan on the laptop to the full, it is enough to change a couple of parameters in the device's power supply scheme.
Checking the serviceability of the equipment and setting the BIOS
Before starting various manipulations on the computer, first make sure that the built-in cooler works at all. Also check the ventilation for dirt. Quite often, the fan does not perform its functions due to the fact that dust and small debris are clogged into it.
First, let's figure out how to forcibly turn on the fan on a laptop. Typically, when the unit is turned on, cooling starts first. To check this, bring some piece of paper or thread to ventilation hole... The raised object should vibrate and this observation indicates that air is being blown out of the hole. If the thread, on the contrary, sticks to the hole, then this means that the fan is connected incorrectly and the polarity is reversed. Because of this, the cooling does not work properly and only complicates the cooling.
On some laptop BIOS can monitor the activity of the fans. As a rule, this occurs on more expensive models, but there are exceptions. To turn on the fan on Acer laptops, MSI, etc. gaming series, use additional BIOS features. On expensive models, the mother card is able to control the power supply of the elements (processor, coolers, etc.).
Turn off the laptop and, when rebooting, go to the BIOS, in most cases, to do this, immediately after turning it on, you need to press DEL, F2 or ESC. Each computer model has its own methods.
Go to the "Power" section, here you can find information about the temperature of the processor and the activity of rotation of the coolers. Find the "CPU Q-Fan Control" and "CPU Fan Profile" parameter. The first parameter must be enabled, the second item is responsible for the profile used:
- Silent (minimum noise, battery saving);
- Standard (fans turn on when the device is under increased load, for example, during games);
- Turbo (constant cooling, fans run without stopping);
To enable fan blowing on a Lenovo laptop, etc., manufacturers may need to use third-party programs. On models over 100,000 rubles (MSI, Acer Predator, etc.), the manufacturer adds special software with auxiliary functions to control the cooling system to the sales kit.
On most budget devices RPM control is not supported. But a similar problem is solved programmatically through third-party software. The most popular program is Speed Fan. Through it, you can turn on the fan on laptops Samsung, Dell, Lenovo, Acer, HP and many other manufacturers that do not have built-in specialized software.
On the main window of the program there is a drop-down list, through which you can control the activity of the cooling system in real time.
To view detailed information from temperature sensors and configure the activity of coolers go to the configuration tab.
To turn on the fan on a laptop Lenovo and Acer, you can use special applications, these 2 manufacturers provide customers with proprietary software. For some series of laptops, separate software is created, an example of such programs:
- Lenovo - Lenovo Energy Management;
- Samsung - Easy Settings;
- MSI - MSI Afterburner;
- HP - HP Notebbok Fan Control;
- Acer - ACFan Control, SmartFan, A1ctl;
- ASUS (eee series models) - Eeectl.
In addition to these programs, you can also try software from AMD and Intel processor manufacturers:
- AMD OverDrive (for AMD processors);
- Riva Tunes (for Intel processors).
How to turn on the fan on a laptop via Windows
Windows 7, 8, 10 has a built-in power management setup program. To open it follow the instructions:
In the list of available settings, find the "Processor Power Management-> System Cooling Policy" section. Further from available options select the "active" option. The fan on the laptop is now always on. This leads to better cooling, but the noise of the device is noticeably increased.
Many users complain about HP's poor cooling. To fix this issue, turn the fan on your hp laptop into active mode. After that, overheating will occur much less frequently and it will become much more comfortable to work with the device.
