sgx Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I have 10.4.8 installed and working perfectly on a p5w dh deluxe motherboard. The only problem I have is that the fans in my computer spin at their max speed in mac. In windows and in linux they adjust their speed depending on how much im using my computer but in mac they all come on and are extremely loud.

sgx Posted February 17, 2007 Author Share Posted February 17, 2007 I found out that this only happens when I install the video card. I hace a x1950xtx vidoe card and I install jccool's x1950xt driver. It works perfectly and I can change the resolution but its fan starts spinning at max speed Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/42665-fan-speed/#findComment-305359 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hecker Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I read somewhere that this was an issue with hacintoshes. You could consider using a voltage regulator for your fans. hecker Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/42665-fan-speed/#findComment-305434 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordinarychild Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 You could try playing around with the Q-Fan functions in your BIOS - once you turn Q-FAN on, your fans should throttle down depending on CPU temps. But, like you said, may not work on the Mac, not to mention I heard Q-Fan wasn't working all that well with some BIOS revisions, so depending on what you have... The other idea is to try using some Mac equivalent of SpeedFan - this looks like it *might* do the job (haven't tried it myself yet): http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/23049 It's called smcFanControl - it's not SpeedFan of course but might work.

frizbot Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Fan controlling is difficult under windows, and nearly impossible under OSX86. I suggest replacing your cooling equipment. Zalman etc. A fan voltage regulator would also help, but you'd have to watch temperatures.
