Do you know a way to increase the Speed of the computer Fans

Hello ,can you tell me please if you know a way to speed up the computer fans , I bought a few Yate Loon 140mm D14SM 1400RPM to add to my Coolermaster CM690 case,this fans are barely audible but the Airflow is barely enough, to slow down a fan is very easy , just add a electric resistance , thank you very much for your help

If they're plugged into fan headers on you MB, there should be controls in BIOS. If your BIOS is not tweak friendly (eg, Dell), an app like speedfan might do it for you depending on the type of controller used.

If it's not plugged into your MB, I'd first have to ask why?... then if there's a good reason for that, you might want to look at a hardware fan controller.

Unless the fan is designed as variable speed, you can't speed it up beyond its design limit. If the voltage had been lowered in BIOS, that could have caused it to run slower than it should have, and restoring the voltage might speed it back up, but otherwise you'd probably need a faster fan. 1400 RPM on a 140mm fan should be plenty of air volume, just not at high speed. That's a big fan.

Is this a case fan or a CPU fan? Not clear from your request without searching the internet for this fan.

I use to have a pair of Volcano fans huge things where you could turn them up with a switch only problem the higher you turned them up the louder they were, they would get quite loud

I got rid of them after a while cause of the noise.

I installed two at the top of my Coolermaster CM690 ( exhaust ), another at the bottom of the case (intake) and another at the front (intake)

I think is impossible to speed up the fan if the fan have been done to run at a specific speed , is only possible to slow down with a resistance ,but never speed up above its standard speed ,speedfan may be also can slow down but never speed up above the maximum speed capacity of the fan ,I will try to connect one of this fans to the MoBo fan connectors But I tthink is hopeless , thank you for the advice

Dirt and Dust build up over time, its worse if you smoke around your computer.
Your fans may be slow due to accumulated debris.

Pop the case and give it a good cleaning. Make sure you pay attention to the fan shafts, blades, and housing.

A little light oil or silicone spary in the bearing will help too.
