cpu cooling fan speed has been decreased.
It used to be 6122 at full speed as gpu did, but now it has become 5660 (I purchased it in this Feb). Does this mean the fan has been damaged?

Hi, 

BIOS settings – built-in way to control CPU fan speed

Even though SpeedFan is a slick tool, you don’t need to orchestrate speed of a CPU fan from the Windows interface. That can be done through the BIOS settings, as well. At least, most of the time. Even though different motherboard manufacturers call it differently, there’s always a fan setting hidden within the BIOS.

With some of those, you can regulate the speed, while others need to be disabled in order to make your CPU fan run with maximum effort.

Here’s how to access BIOS in Windows 10 and tweak fan-related settings on your own:

1. Press Windows + I to open Settings.
2. Open Update & security.
3. From the left pane, select Recovery.
4. Under the Advanced Startup, click Restart Now.
5. Click Troubleshoot.
6. Select Advanced options.
7. Choose UEFI Firmware settings.
8. Click Restart.
9. Your PC should boot in BIOS/UEFI settings.
10. Once there, should have an easy time finding the fan configuration settings.

As we already stated, some settings allow you to change the RPM while others are made to make fans silent. For the latter, we advise you do disable it if you’re having overheating issues. That way, your CPU cooling fan will always run at full speed and thus make your PC a bit louder but much less prone to overheating.
