But the lag is not too large.Īs success of such companies is directly connected with the positive image in the eyes of consumers (most buyers of boxed motherboards understand hardware issues very well), products from 'minor' manufacturers are often technically better. Unfortunately, not all of them can provide sufficient number of products on the new chipsets to the masses synchronously with first-tier manufacturers. It allows these companies to exist comfortably (even if complaining about hard times), to set up vast displays at IT expos, design unique motherboards and equip them with original options. Nevertheless, the cost of boxed products (and consequently the margin) is higher. They are all oriented on the retail market in the first place, which never had and never will have such turnovers as the OEM market.

SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 6850 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 (connected to 1980x10x900 monitors) I can see the fan speed but not adjust it.ĭoes anyone have other suggestions on CPU fan control software? Or a fan controller hardware? I have thought of getting one but they seem to all be manual control without any automated settings. I've also tried software like speedfan to control the CPU fan but to no avail. I've tried adjusting Biostar's odd fan settings many times but the fan control never changes, always the same performance.

My CPU fan range is 750rpm-2500rpm so the fan could keep the CPU much cooler. Under high load (gaming) my CPU operates at about 50C with my fan at 1000rpm.
