Typically, middle-class laptops have only one cooler, which is responsible for cooling the entire system. For this reason, its rotation speed will affect the performance not only of the processor, as is the case with desktop computers, but also of the entire system along with a video card, RAM and hard drive.
Auto tuning
Properly configured drivers in the operating system will allow you to both increase the cooler speed on the laptop during its maximum load, and reduce it when working in the system itself or undemanding applications. This will not only provide extra battery life due to lower power consumption, but also extend the life of the cooler.
Manual adjustment of a laptop cooler
The question of how to increase the cooler speed on a laptop in manual mode may arise for several reasons. One of them is incorrect driver settings in the operating system. This happens to users after reinstalling it on their own. Quite often, such questions arise in people using new versions of Windows, where the optimization of the system and drivers has not yet been performed for all equipment. Also, the problem of rotation speed can occur when the gadget has not been disassembled for a long time for cleaning. It’s worth switching to manual cooler adjustment only if the solution is not in the options described above.
Software prerequisite
Since it will not be possible to increase the speed of the cooler on the laptop using regular means, for a start it will be necessary to download the necessary software. First of all, it refers to the SpeedFan application, which will regulate the number of revolutions of the blades per minute. You will also need to download one of the programs to view the temperature level of various elements of the computer. It can be either Everest, or any application with less functionality. On the laptop itself, you must have an installed operating system from Microsoft of any edition on which the above programs will be launched.
Computer diagnostics
Increasing the speed of the cooler on a laptop will not always be the best option in terms of performance and in terms of noise. To avoid spending extra time, first of all, it is worthwhile to conduct a small diagnostics of the equipment.
To determine the temperature of each of the elements of the computer, you must use one of the pre-installed programs. All necessary measurements can be performed using Everest, finding the corresponding indicators of each of the elements. If they are outside the norm and this is not related to the drivers and excessive pollution of the laptop, you should start setting up the rotation of the cooler. It makes sense to set the maximum speed in the summer, when the room temperature is equal to or exceeds the thermometer mark of 30 degrees, or when accelerating equipment.
Change speed with SpeedFan
If you need to increase the speed of the cooler on a laptop, SpeedFan will become one of the most versatile options. The application that regulates the speed of all coolers installed in the system is distributed free of charge, has a convenient interface without ads and full Russification. After installing the program, the cooling systems found on the user equipment will be displayed in the main menu. Their maximum number is limited to six. On many laptop models, switching the speed of rotation of the blades will occur immediately after confirmation of actions without rebooting the device.
How to increase cooler speed on HP Pavilion G6 laptop
For the line of laptops HP Pavilion G6 there is an optimal option that will provide both a high degree of cooling of computer elements and a low noise level. On the official website of the manufacturer, in the driver section, each owner of the Hewlett-Packard equipment can find the Power manager application for automatically adjusting the power supplied to the cooler and other elements. To do this, you need, while on the main page of the site, hover over the "Support" item located in the upper horizontal menu and select "Download drivers" from the drop-down list. Next, the HP website will offer several options for determining the model of the laptop. The first is automatic, allowing you to download a special application that the laptop recognizes on its own. The second is manual, where the user will personally select the necessary category and prescribe a model for selecting drivers. After that, the download page of all software for the selected device will be available.
BIOS revs increase
Before you increase the speed of the cooler on the laptop through the BIOS, you should determine the need for this process, since the consequences can be not only in the form of excessive noise, but also premature discharge of the battery. For this reason, on many laptop computers, such a function is simply cut out from the base I / O system.
Manual tuning of the rotation speed can be useful for geeks who want to start accelerating their own equipment. Although this is not very popular on laptops, still some models have a fairly good margin of power.
Starting overclocking, the first thing you need to increase the speed of the cooler on the laptop. How to configure it through the BIOS, you will need to learn from the instructions that came with the laptop. If the manual for making changes is not included, the information can be found on the official website of the laptop developer. In a generalized form, tuning is reduced to several actions. First, you need to press the appropriate button before loading the system (depending on the manufacturer of the motherboard), go to the main menu of the basic I / O system. Next, you need to find the power section, where the menu with the cooler settings will be located. Save changes before exiting the BIOS, and the required speed will be selected on an ongoing basis.
Cleaning the cooler from contamination
When answering the question of how to increase the speed of the cooler on a laptop, one should not forget about ordinary cleaning. This is the best possible way to increase the cooling and rotation efficiency of the blades due to the fact that the pollution will not interfere with the bearings in the form of dust or something more serious.
Of course, not every user will find the necessary tools, time and patience for cleaning equipment. Therefore, if there is a clear drop in computer performance, it is recommended to contact a service center, even if the term for free maintenance in one or two years has already passed.
