Just how good is the Thermaltake VOLCANO 7 ??

[dawbs]

Hello,

I have it on one of my systems and it never on it's own goes above 2900 rpm.

If I put the heat sensor between my thumb and forefinger it goes up to 4000 rpm and that is it !!! Does anyone else have a simular problem with these fans?? I have other Thermaltake fans so I know they make good fans, so just tring to get an idea.....

I hope it is just a bad sensor. Has anyone tried to go around the sensor to make the fan always run at 5000 rpm, which is what it is supposed to max out at??

I am running the ASUS A7V266-E Motherboard.......

Thanks for alll the input,

the sensor base its speed on case temp, not cpu temp.
it will goto 5000rpm only if you case temp is 35c, which is pretty damn hot for any computer.
you can cut the sensor to make it go 5000rpm all the time, there was an article on how to do it. but it will be alot louder
