33979 2002-02-02 02:10:00 In my bios I have an option to let the fans be turned off (case and CPU fans, not the PSU one though) whenever the system goes into standby. I was just wondering whether this is a safe option or not. I'm presuming it is, but thought I'd better check.

System is an Atholon 750 Gateway with Windows ME.

This might be a better and safer way to do it.

33981 2002-02-02 03:01:00 Thanks Graeme, but that doesn't help me any, because I don't have any sensors in my system, so that program just sits there doing nothing...

basically all I'm wanting to know is whether it is safe for the fans to turn off when the system goes into StandBy

33982 2002-02-02 06:51:00 if its the option i think it is .....NO, keep those fans going other wise you will cook your cpu. the only time i would have that on is if you have a huge heatsink that is enough to dissapate the heat passivly. Guest (0)
33983 2002-02-02 07:12:00 Well basically its for when the computer goes into standby... the screen goes blank, and all the lights turn that orange colour (from green) and the hard drive seems to shut down and stuff... Guest (0)
