what motherboard does she have? my experience with speedfan is that it doesn't report the temperatures correctly all of the time

Europa · 11-01-06, 10:25 AM

the computer was pre-build the computer is a packard bell

How old is this system? if its pre built then it most likely doesnt have many fans.

does she have a model #? she might want to give mbm5 a try just to confirm the temps/fans. if you get a model #, you can probably pull up on the internet what mobo it has.

The easiest thing to do is pull the cover off and look. It will be pretty obvious which fan is causing the problem.

definitely. you also might be able to grab the model # of the motherboard just so she can try to use mbm5 to see if speedfan is reporting correct info.

Simply lubricating the fans may make the noise go away.
