HOW TO SILENCE ASUS FANS

tatchung

Hi all! Does anyone know how I can keep ASUS fans quiet? I've recently upgraded my motherboard (still ASUS though) and I've noticed its fan is still quite noisy after an hour of use or so. Retailer said all heat sink fans connected with ASUS generate that kind of noise. He directed me to ASUS homepage to download a software for this but the download link generates runtime error thus I can't get through. Does anyone know what software he was referring to? Any and all assistance is very much welcome. Thanx all! Aim small, miss small

Which fan is it? The Northbridge? If yes, than he was probably referring to fan monitoring and controlling software. Try Smartfan (I think) or another fan-tool. If that fails you, remove the standard wiring (and hope that the MB does not shut down on fan failure) and hook the fans up to a fan controller. With that, you should be able to control the fan settings from the front panel of your computer. However, in that case, you might want to monitor your temperatures to prevent overheating.
