Need help changing CPU fan speed

[Merek]

Hi there,

So basically my computer crashes occasionally while playing certain games, and I'm fairly sure it's down to my CPU over-heating. My GPU stays at a decent temperature, however, my CPU goes to around 70 degrees.

I was wondering how I may be able to increase the CPU fan speed using the BIOS settings - I have the same interface as the one shown in this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FH5z44zedM

My motherboard model is H61M-S2PV

Please consider I'm a total noob when it comes to computers, thanks

What are you using for a cooler. If it is the stock one that could be the problem. Plus if you are using the stock cooler make sure it is seated right. One other thing don't us a lot of paste too, more isn't better. The temp is 70c that is 158f. You could try a better cooler 3rd party.

In the Bios:
PC Health Status

CPU Smart FAN Control

Allows you to determine whether to enable the CPU fan speed control function and adjust the fan speed.
Normal Allows the CPU fan to run at different speeds according to the CPU temperature. You can
adjust the fan speed with EasyTune based on your system requirements. (Default)
Silent Allows the CPU fan to run at slow speeds.
Manual Allows you to control the CPU fan speed under the Slope PWM item.
Disabled Allows the CPU fan to run at full speeds.
