| tricking volcano 7 hs fan
is there a trick to get the volcano 7 hs fan to blow any faster..its rated at about 5k rpm but only blows about 3.5k to 3.7k rpm?
thanks, les |

i think that the volcano 7 has a thermo sensor on the side and it regulates the fan speed . the hotter it senses the faster the fan speed . what are your temps? are they high? at 5k rpm that fan is a little loud. i have the v7+ and it is loud on the high settings | |

cpu temps are 46 idle 49-50 under load..noise doesnt matter? i would like to get it down to maybe 40 c or cooler.

is there any way to place the sensor closer to the heat sink so that it will raise the fan speed. or jumping out the sensor so that it runs at full speed . i'v only breafly looked at those ttv7 at computer expos | |

I've never used/looked at a v7, but you could probably just short the fan sensors connections, should make it run full speed all the time.... But i'm not responsible if it blows up or anything hehe...

Try bending the heat sensor over so it stick in the heatsink. Might work, but I warn you it is noisy.
I must have been lucky with mine, it never let the chip go above 45c, but then again, that was only a 1ghz duron.

sam and nukes are right. Get the sensor where it is hotter 
Remove the fan, and drop the 'green' sensor down into the center of the heatsink, and put the fan back on. | |

I went one step beyond what rpertusio posted...
I removed the fan, stuck the sensor down inside the heatsink, reinstalled the fan, and then...
...using a small screwdriver, wedged the the heat sensor in between two of the fins for direct, mechanical contact.
As soon as I start running a game or UD, the speed kicks up on the fan, immediately
Right now my 900 T-bird is running 34ºC while running UD and surfing with WinAmp cranking tunes
