Broken just like any other ASUS board ever made.....
ASUS admits they made a mistake and now gives out free fans if you call them. I still haven't forgave those pricks. You will need to give them a phone call to get the fan of course, they may pull something like "your board is a new revision and the problem is fixed" but if your persistant they will give you a fan.

On a site note my new fan hasn't died yet but I have my doubts does anyone know the quality of the replacment fans?
