Opera Turbo slows down my speed?
There is some confusion here. I am a big fan of opera and I wish they would change the name of Opera Turbo to something else. If you have a fast connection, Opera Turbo will only slow you down. Here's why: When browsing without opera turbo, you send a request to a server to download and view a page. if all goes well, you download the information and your browser renders it. When browsing with opera turbo, you send a request through a proxy to a server. The proxy downloads and then compresses the content, which it sends to you. Your browser then uncompress part or all of the content, then renders it. This will slow down your overall speed if you have decent connection speed. Opera Turbo is really only useful when trying to use at slow and or dialup speeds. The compression reduces the file size of the page which means you download it faster. With dialup speeds the extra steps of the proxy, compression, and decompression are usually significantly faster than downloading the whole page; however, these extra steps will cause significant slowdowns on broadband because the time needed to compress the information will generally take longer than simply downloading the page.
Help! My HP Pavillion p6210y fan speeds up and slows down repeatedly!?
Starting this morning, the fan on my HP Pavillion desktop has been speeding up very fast for about two minutes, then it slows down to its normal very quiet speed and runs normal for about five minutes, then repeats the speeding up process. All of the air intake/outflowing vents are clear of dust and have nothing surrounding them to block airflow. What could the problem be? This computer will be two years old in the fall.
Why does my PC slow down and the fan speed up when I open Facebook on (only) Chrome and Firefox?
A performance slow-down and fan speed-up would indicate greater consumption of processor power. The processors (CPU’s) of your computer create heat in proportion to how hard they are pushed.So the symptoms you describe (same web page, different browser) would indicate that one browser consumes more processor power than another, which in turn would indicate that the software underlying that browser is less efficiently written. Efficiently-written code is a sign of a well-ordered piece of software. However, it is not the only important sign.Stability (resistance to crashing), memory use (as little as possible), raw speed (how fast a page loads or SPA performs), and reliable/predictable rendering (the same as other browsers) are more important than consumption of processor power, unless you are running other apps simultaneously, or overall performance is reduced.
Why does my fan now take a while to speed up?
The typical reason for slowing down of fan speed is that it has been used since a long time and has become old. So, is it now even slower? If this is the issue it can be easily fixed with a few steps and considerations. In most cases, ceiling fan speeds are retained after maintenance and cleaning.Ceiling fans help in different operations and built in speeds, and most are available with in-built speed and most are available with in-built control for speed.Ceiling fans don’t require maintenance which would probably be the reason why homeowners generally don’t notice slow speeds too soon. There are three main aspects due to which the speed of your ceiling fan slows down:Imbalance in fan bladesNot having the right ceiling fan balance can easily be identified. If your ceiling fan wobbles or shakes, or even moves on higher speeds, there would be many issues present with one or all fan blades. You can make a check for warped, bent or fixed blades with different angle than any other fan blades. You need to quickly replace damaged fan blade.Poor performing capacitorWhile checking your ceiling fans for slow speed, if there isn’t any issue present with fan blades (no shaking or wobbling in fan) and the bearings are working fine, a problem lies with capacitor motor. The motor must be replaced with new ones with similar ratings.Damaged or old bearingsThe ceiling blades would gum due to dirt and oil accumulation, or they would require oiling and get dried. These problems can be identified after spinning fan blades with hand. So, whether you’re noticing whether the fan blades aren’t freely moving, this would be due to the bearings.
The laptop fan speeds up for a while about 1 minute and then slow down for about 5 minutes and repeats this with a constant time rate. I am just opening a browser. What is the reason for this?
A2A: The CPU temperature gradually rise while using the slower fan speed. Eventually it gets hot enough that the system ‘decides’ it’s time to do something about it. It increases the fan speed until the temperature has dropped to a more acceptable level, after which the higher fan speed is no longer needed. It is hardly different from the action associated with the thermostat which controls the air conditioner in one’s home. The fact that you are ‘just’ running a browser certainly does not mean that you are imposing no load on the CPU.
Why does a speed of ceiling fan decreases?
There are 2 Answers to this Question.(Simple and Long)Simple Answer is Capacitor which connected to the fan is lost its capacitance value. If you replace the capacitor it will work as new fan.And now for long answerCeiling fan is a single phase induction motor. This motor is NOT self-starting i.e. it requires external force to run it at the time of starting. For starting any type of motor there must be resulting magnetic field to create torque to rotate the rotor.In single phase motor without capacitor the field created by stator winding is positive in half cycle and negative in other half so resulting net field is zero so torque is also zero. To overcome this drawback, a capacitor is used. It is connected across starting winding and running winding in the fan motor. This creates a phase difference between the windings. Thus, a field is produced which is resultant of the two fields. The rotor rotates according to the direction of the resultant field.Capacitor is not only used to start your fan but also to run. see below diagram how it is connected.Where C is capacitor and L & N are Live, Neutral which is our input power supply. You can see that capacitor is connected across two windings, L2 is starting winding and L1 is running winding in fan. once power was given, capacitor will create a RMF(Rotating Magnetic Field) in motor. if capacitor is not connected or damaged fan just produce humming noise and start heating and damage the windings also.As mentioned above, Capacitor creates RMF and thus torque produces in motor and motor will rotate. As long as capacitor produces good torque fan will rotate at good speed. once capacitor losses its capacitance value torque will be reduced resulting in slowing the fan speed.Below mentioned the capacitor which uses in regular ceiling fans in India.Polyester/Film Capacitors are used in ceiling fans. There are no defined polarities for these type of capacitors.They are of rating approx ~2.2uF/440V for a 50-60 Watt fan.Please up-vote if you like my answers. :)
Does blowing a fan on a water spill make it dry up faster? if so, how?
That would depend on how cold the air from the fan is. The water will naturally evaporate at the temperature of its surroundings, so if the air from the fan is colder than the surrounding temperature, it will slow down the evaporation process (because the water molecules will slow down), but if the air from the fan is warmer than the surrounding temperature, the heat will speed the water molecules up and they will evaporate faster.
CPU fan not throttling down why?
I would try a CMOS or hard reset. Removing the motherboard jumper http://nuwan4u.files.wordpress.com/2011/... and moving it over 1 pin. See how there is one pin to the right of that jumper? Let's assume the two pins that it is on are pins 1&2. YOu would move the jumper over to pins 2&3. Turn on your computer. It will give some sort of error like maintenance or just won't post. Go ahead and shut it off and move the jumper( BTW it's that blue thing in the middle of the pic) back over to pins one and two. If that doesn't work then you can remove all power including PCI express cords for your GFX, 20+4 pin for your mobo, 4+4 or 4 pin power cord for your mobo and all other power including that flat battery shown in the jumper's pic. Leave it like that for a minute or two and then put eveything back together. UNPLUG YOUR POWER CORD FROM THE WALL prior to removing your case's side cover and touch something metal prior to getting inside of your computer. Don't do this on a rug either. PLUG IN YOUR CORD FROM THE WALL AFTER everything else if plugged in inside the computer and the side case is closed. You can use http://www.piriform.com/speccy to make sure your CPU isn't too hot. Your fans will stay at high RPM's regardless if your CPU is too hot. IDLE CPU temps usually range from the low 20's to the high 40's depending on the CPU, its' cooler, computer case conditions and ambient temps. EDIT: If your temps are indeed too high the CPU cooler may have beome dislodged and isn't making full contact with the heatsink( a heatsink looks like this http://www.bjorn3d.com/Material/revimage... ) Most all of them have some sort of base and a fan connected to it. That heatsink is connected with pressure and not bolts like my V8 is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103055 . If it is jostled too much and isn't fully seated a corner can pop out resulting in heat issues that need to be countered by the fan speeding up to evacuate more heat quicker than when properly connected. Thermal paste allows efficient heat to be transferred from the surface of the CPU to the base of the heat-sink. If there is a separation between the heatsink and CPU or the thermal paste/compound hasn't been applied or is OLD that efficient heat transfer is no longer efficient so the CPU heats up and the fan speeds up.
