Hi,
I have a PC that is fitted with an MSI K7T266 Pro2 motherboard. Today I
finished installing an Asetek Waterchill CPU cooler. When I booted up the
system again, the BIOS complained that the CPU fan was not running (Duh!!) and
suggested to shutdown.
Although I get the option to boot anyway, the message is
annoying. So, I want to get rid of this. I searched throught the BIOS options
but couldn't find one that lets me override this check.
I connected the case fan (which also has a speedindication-wire) to the CPU fan
connector. (The case fan runs at 2300rpm, the CPU fan used to run at around
4600rpm). Still the BIOS tells me there is no fan connected...
I checked with Motherboard Monitor MBM 5.3.7.0 and it detects the case fan
(and reports it's speed) now connected to the CPU connector on the motherboard.
So, I think its odd that the BIOS tells me there is no fan connected. I could
connect
the CPU fan and leave it hanging in the case, but I don't think that is an
option.
Anyway, if anyone can suggest an easy way to repair this please let me know.
