Q-Fan Question

MythicaL · Jul 24, 2004, 10:49 PM

If I set my Q-Fan speed to MAX in the BIOS, will it drain more from my power supply? In other words, will Windows and general game performance decrease?

it's not enough to cause such negative effects

OK, well, both my computer and room get really hot, and so I wanted to keep the Q-Fans to max the whole time

when you say 'max' do you mean you told Q-Fan to kick in at the lowest possible temp?...if so, no, it duznt hurt anything as long as yer PSU isnt like...200 watts, if that isnt what u meant i'm lost

Well, MAX as in fan rotation speed... Yeah, and my PSU is 480W so I guess it should be enough?
