Hey guys, for a while now I kept hearing this grinding noise coming from my pc. I thought it was my IDE harddrive at first but I now think it might be the CPU fan. I turned it off to stop the noise (this sometimes works) but when I restarted it gave me a bios error saying CPU fan speed was too low (Threshold is 1200RPM and usually runs around 3150). The weird thing is it's sporadic, It's working fine just now.
System Specs are:
asus a8n-sli se (socket 939)
x2 4600 with stock cooler
2 gig (4x512) corsair value 400 mhz
gigabyte 8800gt oc
Jeantech arctic 600W PSU, (not the best but it scored ok on a review Toms hardware did)
Is the CPU fan the likely culprit and can you recommend a decent replacement fan, preferably one that I can then use on my next upgrade to either Intel or more likely AM2+.
Cheers
