For one thing, your computer tends to be a little louder when your fan is running full out. As long as your cpu is running at normal specs, I would let it run using the bios or a third party application to control it. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell and Custom

If it's PWM controlled, the fan will run at different speeds based on load.
Usually, the faster it runs, the cooler the temps. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Self-built
