Ok my fan in my server is very very VERY loud so when i tryed keeping it on last night all i could hear was a “phhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh” all night. So now i downloaded Speedfan and reduced it from 100% to 15% and it worked. Its quiet!

Tips if you plan on doing this:

By tempatatios. Insert 1 or 2 more fans into your computer system (for extra cooling)

Be wise. Turn on “Automatic fan speed” just it case the CPU temp goes over 56C and your asleep… 😑 “Boom?”

Be carefull. Do not whatever you do stop the fan! If you do for too long the CPU will explode with heat! (Hot areas are not suitable).

Be spacious. Move your computer/server to a cool or even COLD area, Hot areas require a faster fan speed to keep the CPU cool.

Do not use overpowering applications that will increase your server speed. I have only Xampp, Firezilla FTP, Murcury and Apache running.

Think. When you wake, Go to your computer and turn the fan to 100% speed to realease all the hot air trapped inside.

My temps.

At 15% for 30 mins the temp for the CPU has been the same at 40C  
At 15% for 30 mins the temp for the HDD has benn the same at 35C

Thanks for reading!
