Antec Sonata TruePower 380 fan problem...

I just installed an A7N8X Deluxe in an Antec Sonata case with the 380 TruePower Power Supply. Everything works pretty well considering I had never built a machine before. But ASUS Probe reads that the Power Supply fan is not working. I downloaded the latest ASUS Probe, but still no go. I can't figure out how to set this up so AsusProbe reads things correctly. Is the TruePower spinning at too low a speed? I have it set to a low threshold of 600 RPM (the lowest it can go). But I think the fan spins way faster than that, right? Anyway, if anyone can shed any light on this, I'd appreciate it.

I guess it is possible the connector on the motherboard I am using is bad, but I don't know how to check that either.

Thanks,

Many boards can only read speeds above 2000RPM. My 430 isnt detected on my boards. To check the connector simply put a fast fan on there with a RPM sensor.

This might seem like a stupid question, but do you have the 3-pin motherboard sensor that comes out of the power supply hooked up to your motherboard? Also, do you have the sensor hooked into the right 3-pin on the motherboard?
