Re: Dell Precision 470 Workstation
Thanks Toasty,
I tried running the machine with the video program closed. It seems to make a small difference, in that the fans do not constantly change speed without the video capture running.
I checked the CPU usage and it is consistently about 40%. Whilst I've been typing this, the video card fan has gone to high speed fan.
I downloaded CPUID so I could look at CPU temperatures and fan speeds. Not sure which diode releates to which part of the system, but 1 & 2 are at about 65c and the rest at about 45c. This doesn't seem to hot to me?? The fan speeds are FANIN0 varying between 1000 and 1300 of 1400 max. FANIN1 steady at 1330 which is its max. FANIN2 2400rpm, which is its max. I'm guessing that FANIN0 is the one which is "hunting".
I could be wrong here, but the machine seems not to be working very hard, but still has all the fans on full whack.
All advice greatly appreciated.
Clive
