Will upgrading a processor reduce the fan RPM?
I have an Intel E5200 Dual Core processor on a Sony all-in-one computer. It is a hybrid notebook/desktop computer.
Whenever I play the Mahjong Titans (the game that comes with Windows 7), the fan runs at a high RPM. When Windows boots, it is at 2150 RPM. After playing Mahjong Titans for about an hour, the RPM goes to about 3,300 and the fan is loud. It always happens.
The temperature of the cores remain at 36 and 38 degrees.
If I upgrade the processor to an E7400 Core 2 Duo, will that processor not heat up as much as the E5200 when playing Mahjong Titans and consequently lower the fan RPM?
The temperature of the cores remain at 36 and 38 degrees.
I am not looking for any other solutions. I have tried everything else imagineable.
