Depending on the motherboard manufacturer, hit F2 / F12 / Del when you start your PC to enter BIOS.
(when the manufacturer's picture comes up, it should say which one to enter SETUP aka. BIOS)

To higher the speed again remove the paper or clean out the dust. Problem solved ;)

Not only will you cause severe danger to your components by placing paper randomly inside your case, but you will also stress the fans much
more - making their lifetime a lot shorter and increasing the possibility for them to fail and cause damage to your other PC components.

Post by: Daxx on March 26, 2011, 08:25:03 pm: This is possible with programs such as SpeedFan. Although, I think you still need to disable the automatic fan control in BIOS.
