O.K, I’ve had my Dell Dimension 5150 for well over 18 months now and I’ve finally had enough of the jet engine noise that it creates as soon as you even think about making the processor do some work!
The system board is a HJ054 800/1066MHZ
I looked at the specs for the board and it doesn’t say anything about it supporting temperature monitoring.
So if I bought a fan that changes it’s speed according to the system temp, am I right in thinking it would run at 100% as there is nothing it tell it otherwise?
I ordered a antec smart cool 120mm case fan only to find that the 3 and 4 pin connectors that came with it do not fit to any connection on my system board or PSU.
I also still have the stock 775 heat sink which I have re -seated many times thinking that it might sort out the problem if the system was causing all this noise due to over heating but as I mentioned earlier, I have no way of finding out what temp my system runs at.
I’ve had a look at some online but most of the good ones say that I’ll need 20cm clearance to install them. I’m pretty sure that I haven’t got that sort of room in my case.
Where do I measure it from?
The top of the system board or the top of the CPU?
Basically I need some assistance in finding a case fan and CPU heat sink that my system board supports and ultimately stop this wailing beast so that I can hear myself think.
All feedback appreciated.
Many thanks,
