fans quiet in standby Hi all, i'm currently experimenting with system alarm clocks as i want to wake up to music in the morning. However, when my system goes into standby, the GPU and CPU fans spin at full speed. Does anyone know any way to make them spin at lower speeds during standby (CPU fan at 50% and GPU fan at 30%)? Thanks, Scott.

Can you not set it to hibernate and then use the BIOS's RTC alarm to wake the machine up? It will save more power too! The problem is that you need to screw around with the code that implements fan control in order to prevent that from happening. I suspect this will be part of the ACPI code.

When I click standby, my PC powers completely down. I think you need to alter your BIOS settings to Suspend to Ram. Cos when mine is setup like this, no fans run at all. It is the same as if it were off.

I have tried to set the RTC alarm, but for some reason, it didn't work. I remember waking up 5 minutes before it was due to go off, waiting, waiting, and nothing happening so i went back to sleep. I'll mess about a bit and see if i can get something working. EDIT: wow, it worked now. And 'startup' is soooo much quicker ![]()

You should still switch it off at night tbh, as it will consume a LOT of extra power per year and drive up your poor parents energy bills.... Plus it's un-environmentally friendly!
