So, now that it's summer time here on the east coast and with things heating up i decided to grab another case fan and Northbridge cooler to keep the temps from raising in the warm weather...
First off i went with the easy install and threw in the case fan and attached it to Chassis 1 pins. Powered up, and nothing. Moved it to Chassis 2 and still nothing. hrmn. Plugged it into CPU and guess what, nothing. So the thought was that the fan is defective but i decided to prove it by unplugging one of the Power fans ... guess what this time, it worked! The deal was the same with the NB cooler so it's not defective products that i bought.
Trying to resolve the issue i tried default BIOS settings, various Q-Fan on/off and all sorts of combinations. The bottom line though is that with default settings everything should work, right? One thing i've noticed in the BIOS fans settings is a N/A reading for all but the PWR fans.
As a side note - PC Probe is not detecting any sensors whatsoever and i can't see or modify the position of the monitoring panels, it's stays stuck on "right" no matter where i change it. WHen i hit config, all i see is a blank white box .Could this somehow be related? CPU-Z, SpeedFan and Core Temp all seem to be working fine.
Is there something blatant that i'm missing or could it be a corrupt BIOS issue(2004)? I've looked here and elsewhere but can't find anything similar. Any ideas?
