Special fans are installed in modern desktop and mobile computers. Their main task is to provide high-quality cooling of all important elements of the PC. For the coolers to work properly, they need to be configured.

Instructions
Step 1
First, try to optimize the coolers using the standard motherboard features. Open the BIOS menu after restarting your computer. Find the menu for the fan settings. Activate the Always Fan option. This is especially true when working with mobile computers, because coolers are often turned off to save battery power.
Step 2
Set the rotation speeds of the required coolers. Typically, you will need to enter a number that is the percentage of the rated speed to the maximum speed. Save the fan settings and restart the computer.
Step 3
Quite often, the function for configuring coolers is absent in the BIOS menu. In such situations, it is necessary to use utilities that work with Windows operating systems. Install the SpeedFan software. Open this utility and go to the Clock tab. Expand the Motherboard menu and select the manufacturer of the motherboard you are using.
Step 4
Go to the Readings menu and find the fields displaying the rotational speed of the coolers. Select the rotational speed of each cooler. When set to 100%, the blades will rotate at maximum speed.
Step 5
If you have lowered the speed of the coolers, be sure to make sure that the devices to which these fans are connected do not overheat. To do this, open the Charts tab and select the Temperatures parameter in the Analyze column. Select the checkboxes of the devices whose temperature changes you want to monitor.
Step 6
After launching an application that actively uses PC resources, minimize it and look at the temperature graph. Make sure that during operation of all devices their temperature does not exceed the permissible limits.
