d a v e Posts: 4087 Joined: 7/24/2002 From: England (but live in Finland now) Status: online	fans and mobo/cpu temps - 2/3/2005 6:35:32 i've got this motherboard AUS A7V8X-X and just the minimal amount of fans that it came with i seem to have overheating problems occasionally so i quite often run it wirthout the case side on. the mobo/cpu has a auto-protection feature whereyby if it gets too warm it will shur off and reboot, which it occasionally does. anyway to the question: i installed the ASUS probe monitoring thingy that shows how fast your fans are, mobo/cpu temp/voltages etc and it says my power fan anc chassis fan (the one in the back that sits behind the power unit??) aren't working (see attached screenshot) what to do? p.s. there's no help file in the asus probe program (huh hardly ever need one then when you do there isn't one=) Thumbnail Image Attachment (1) _____________________________ David Prescott Gekko web design

My P4, overclocked to 3.6Ghz, rarely hits 40C, never mind 76! I do have 7 fans in mine, and I have a gaming case too..... You need a bigger/better cooling system in there _____________________________ (in reply to d a v e)

You can pick up case fans for under $15 brand new... or spend up to $50 or more on them. Get the right size for your case cuttouts, fastest, quitest fans you can find (for the right price) Also look into a heat sinks, new fans for processor, thermal gel, etc. You might even take your box in so they can see it and make some recommendations. I've seen some boxes with the sides cut out and replaced with window screen (physical windows, not the digital kind) Also make sure your box isn't sitting where it can't get air... under a desk or in the closet. And that it's not sitting near a heater or something... _____________________________ If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress? (in reply to Giomanach)

On the asus mobo there are (I forget the exact term) fan1, fan2. You will need to plug into those for the mobo to be able to monitor the fan.
