Hi
Motherboard= A7N8X 2 CPU= ATHLON XP 3000 (Socket A 462) Does anyone know why the PC fan will start up for a second when i push the power button but then will turn itself off. When i put in the old fan and heatsink back on the PC functions fine. I have enabled Q fan control in the bios but alot of the other settings stay grayed out like fan rotation speed CPU voltages etc so i cant adjust them. Any ideas? Thank you |

You probably just put the thermal paste on wrong or something so it's overheating then turning itself off.

The new fan/heatsnk is a SPIRE Whisperrock IV.
Hi if i put the paste on the wrong way why did it work when i cleaned and reapplied the paste on the old fan? Is there anything in the Bios that i need to do??????? |

Is the fan actually running then? You sure you haven't mounted it the opposite way?

Hi guys
I just tried again and i did everything the same as before and now it works i am using it as we speak. I got the fan pretty cheap off ebay and compared to jet engine i have been listening to for the last four years. This new fan is pretty silent by comparison rated at 19dB and 2300 rpm i think i got quite a bargain for under a tenner. But now the hard disk sounds loud. Cheers thanks for all your input |
