Asus motherboard chip fan not working

[Flame]

Ive got a Asus SLI SE mobo and the chip fan isnt working, i get a warning when my computer starts up...

Is there an option in the BIOS to turn it on, or is it broke?
Anybody know how to fix this please?

It should be on. Are you sure its not the fan itself or that you are plugging it into the right connection?

Broken - Asus will give you a new one. The boards had bad fans so they will replace them.

MAKE SURE YOU GET A NEW ONE. You'll have to send the whole board back if it overheats.

Thanks man, at first i thougfht u sead the whole mobo was broke and i have to take my brand new PC apart that id only just built!!! that would have pi**ed me off big time!

So were would i get a new fan? i bought the mobo from ebuyer... so should i ask them or go to the asus website?

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?
