Fan voltages problem
Am fixing a friends older Compaq some idea of the specs in the Speccy snip/s.
Problem is the CPU is running rather hot average 35C at idle and up to 60C on scans and net searches.
I have cleaned everything redone the compound with Arctic Silver and reseated all the plugs etc etc
Now the problem is the case and CPU fans are not running fast enough - the volts at the 24 pin are fine - jut on 5.06v each red. Now the volts at the fan headers both the CPU and back case fan are 4.6v and I know they can run faster because I have had them out and un on my test PSU.
So any idea on why the volts are dropping from the 24 pin to the headers??
CPU fan runs full blast on power up then slows to a steady - what I can only describe as what one would exect on idle.
Temps can be seen in the pics and the discrepsancy or so it seems with the volts whetaer tis is Specy or the machine I don't know.
