i5-750 temp issues

I was thinking the other day that i wanted to overclock my cpu so i decided to see what my load temps were(i always just looked at the idle temps for it not really bothering to do load temps) and noticed that it was hitting around 80c with a prime95 test after only a couple minutes.

I ran Everest to see what my cpu fan RPM was at and noticed it never went over 2000 RPM(usually stayed at 1600RPM even though 2800RPM is the max). So i went into bios and turned off automatic fan control and it sits at about 2600 rpm.

With automatic fan speed shutoff the idle temps are 32c and load are at 68c sometimes hitting 70c for a brief time. After sometime of doing the prime95 test the cpu fan speed will increase to 2800RPM.

My problem though is the fan is real loud with automatic fan speed turned off but with it on it never speeds up and the cpu starts overheating...why is this? Shouldn't the sensor know that the cpu is getting too hot and increase the fan speed more? Why does it stay at 1600-1800RPM when its at 80c!!!?

P.S. Im using the stock fan that came with it and have it at stock speeds.

That will be a problem unfortunately, i haven't done any measuring but i have a micro atx motherboard and my video card and Ram are only a few inches away from the CPU, is there a aftermarket cooler that would fit?

If you want to slow the fan down & have it speed up as the temp goes up try Speed Fan. It's not difficult to set up. Keeps an eye on temp too.

I have tried using speed fan but i cant seem to get it to work. It shows my fans in my computer but when i adjust percentages the RPM doesnt change. Am i just doing something wrong? The program seemed pretty straight forward but you never know lol

Go to 'configure' then 'temp, highlight 'system' then configure the temp. Then go to 'speeds', highlight Speed01 then set the values.

Have a play with it but be careful. As you make changes listen to what is going on & watch your temps.

Under temp there is

CPU
Local
Remote 2
HD0
core0
core1
core2
core3

Which one do i change?

Edit: On the main page it has speed1 speed 2 and speed 3 showing 100%. Taking down the percentage does nothing it seems.

Not sure. Nothing is as simple as it should be.

On the main window see if you can figure out what one is doing what. That's how I sorted mine out. Watch the speed as you lower the fan.

Is there a BIOS setting that would prevent this program form working? I have automatic fan control turned off in BIOS.
