I installed speedfan on my P4 2.4Ghz system and my CPU fan is running at about 2500RPM but on my current PC its running at 27000RPM. Why is there such a huge difference?

 

Also, it shows temperature in these categories:

Temp 1, Temp 2, Temp 3, Core. What are those areas?

That must be a glitch. With that RPM, the noise would be so high you wouldn't be able to sit near the PC for 2 minutes.

it says 27000RPM everywhere, in nTune, ASUS PC probe, speedfan

 

edit: its says 3000 in nTune but ASUS and speedfan says 27k.

 

Also, whats about those temp zones?

Temp 1 is the CPU temp(measured on IHS)
Temp 2 is the NB temp
Temp 3 is the  memory temp
Core is the Core temp(either measured from a sensor in the die or between the die & IHS)

I don't know about the temp zones but there is no way your fan is doing 27000RPM, I can only assume it means 2700RPM.

The temp zones are different in each chipset. Keep in mind that Speedfan is a freeware, voluntarily based program, which doesn't always read chipset and CPU_TEMP variables correctly. Usually, the temp itself determines in which field it can be found. You can say for sure that the Core refers to the CPU die temp, but you can either have one that is positioned below the CPU (between the socket), above the CPU (between the HSF and die, or somewhere near the surface area of the HSF and CPU die or even a diode that is located inside the CPU die itself. Eitherway, these "core temp" readings are going to be very different in all 3 situations. The diode in the die is the most accurate, but you will also then see a huge temp increase, since that is the temp IN the die itself. Temp differences can be up to 30°C. It's basically one big engineering problem, and usually, engineers even doubt if the temp that is registered from that diode is accurate. You can never be 100% sure, but standard deviations can be used to statistically alter the temp for good measurement. Eitherway, if you just want to get a general idea of the temps, read them, think logically and try to find info on the sensors that are used for the die temperature. These are labeled LM_SENSOR variables in most cases. In case you want more info on that for your specific CPU and motherboard, you want to look for that information. However, IP will propably make is second to impossible to find any relevant information.

Be careful around that fan, 27000rpm could cut off a finger.
