2. RPM can also refer to the revolutions per minute a computer case fan or heat sink fan spins. With a high RPM, the fan will move more air or remove more heat from the computer or processor.However, keep in mind that as you increase the RPM of a fan the noise or decibel (dBa) also increases.1  A computers fan RPM can be measured using software tools such as HWMonitor.ith a high RPM, the fan will move more air or remove more heat from the computer or processor.

May 29, 2009 3:57:18 AM. RPM is short for revolutions per minute. In fans, higher rpm's means the fan spins faster, pushing more air, at the expense of more noise. In hard drives it means the drive spins faster, reducing the latency, which is the time for the data to come under the read/write heads. It is defined as the time for half of a revolution. It does not directly equate to higher data transfer rates, which is commonly assumed.
