The fan controlling method comprises following steps: Firstly, a current rotation speed of a fan is obtained. Next, whether the current rotation speed is not greater than an expected rotation speed corresponding to the first type is determined. Then, whether a rotation speed variance between the current rotation speed and the expected rotation speed is not greater than a reasonable variance is determined when the current rotation speed is not greater than the expected rotation speed. Then, a determination that the fan belongs to the first type is made when the rotation speed variance is not greater than the reasonable variance, and a determination that the fan belongs to the second type is made when the rotation speed variance is greater than the reasonable variance, wherein the second type is different from the first type.
