Depending on the fan somewhere between 2400 and 5500 RPM.<br />
Most are probably in 2400-3600 RPM range.

I tried to adjust my fan speed as it's too damn low (540 rpm) and currently the CPU temp is 53 degrees C. However I can't manage to get the fan speed up using speed fan. Why is this? is the BIOS blocking me for doing so? How can I set the fan speed then? The system is a dell xps 420 with a Q6600. Please suggest me what to do

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.

Operating Systems

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.

Components

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.
