PC winding up and down
Posted: Sat Nov 06, 2010 8:27 am
Hi all.
I made the mistake of buying a brand pc, an Acer. Some brand pcs are rather quiet, at least quite enough for me, however in this case it was quite a bit louder than I expected.. the everyday noise volume is ok, I can live with it... however at times its winds up and down... it goes from say a noise of 5 to a noise of 7 (on a 10 grade scale) and then after a while it goes back to 5.
I've no idea why it does this. Is there something I can try as far as using software, changing the fans with a software program like Speedfan or other?
The temperature according to Speedfan is:
GPU 65degrees
temp1 64c
temp2 -78
temp3 -78
core 53
cpu usage 36%
this is not a gaming pc. your average office pc is more like it. ive tried to silent it by putting it on a shelf with glass doors but when i close the doors its get too hot and it sounds even more... so that didnt help.
thanks for any advice!
