pc cooling fan question

(1/3) > >>

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.
