What if it's just hotter than usual where he is so the fan is kicking up to keep the CPU at a low temperature?

speedfan wont let me change it
only one it WILL let me change is the gpu

you dont have a 4 pin connector. the extra pin allows for speed control.

a 3 pin will always run at maximum speed.

yeah open your case up and check the wire that runs into the motherboard from the cpu fan.

what do you see at the socket?

or fully lined up?

If you're on a laptop and it's on a desk, put it on your lap because the computer is overheating.

If anything it would be the other way around

But it's not a laptop, so it doesn't matter.

lol then it turns out that they installed it into one of the 3-pin case fan connectors instead of the 4-pin CPU connector
