pc cooling fan question
clutch:
I pulled the m'board out, but now if I don't connect the cooling fan, I have to hit F2 to continue. Has anyone ever cobbled a plug together to trick the m'board into thinking a fan is there?
I can't disable the warning in bios either...
Edit: I think I am outta luck because it monitors the RPM's of the fan. I'll just get one on fleaBay and let it just blow air.
DJ_Izumi:
Please tell me that this isn't the CPU fan...
clutch:
Lol! Nah, just the big fan in the back of the case. It just ticks me off that HP thinks it knows better than I do and that I NEED a fan hooked up at all times.
DJ_Izumi:
I'm sorry, I just couldn't imagine a system where the mobo powered more than the CPU or CHipset fan. Usually the actual case fans are just powered 'dumbly' off the 12v rails of the PSU.
lilshawn:
you could just hijack the yellow wire off the CPU fan.
just add a wire on the yellow and run it over to to an old fan header plug. then just plug it onto the header. you might need a ground too, but not likely.
it should then read the same RPM for both the CPU and the chassis fans.
