Can this hurt my computer?

Hi All,
I hope someone can help me.

I have a ASUS A7N8X v2.0 Deluxe, Motherboard.

AMD Athlon XP 1342 Mhz, CPU.

When I run the ASUS PC Probe (V2.18.04), the Monitor Summery tells me that the Power Fan, and Chassis Fan are "below threshold!!!" but the CPU fan is OK.
So the Monitors for those two are on pause. I don't think they where ever on, it's like theres no fans for them.
Is this possible and can it harm my computer?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
 
You built the computer yourself right? Did you put case fans in it that have RPM monitoring? If not, don't worry about it.
 
Yeah, some fans like the Panaflo L1A don't have RPM monitoring like Jeff7181 mentioned, and the monitoring programs will report that as 0 RPM. As long as your temps are fine and the fans are working properly, don't worry about it.

I'm not sure why your PSU fan is below threshold. Is it reporting a lower RPM rate, or 0 RPM?

He may not have one.

Oh... and ok... I'll bite... why on earth do you have a ~1300 MHz Athlon XP with all that other good hardware? I surely hope that's a typo. Or at least a HTPC... but then I can't figure out why you'd need 1 GB of RAM or a 9800 Pro if it was a HTPC. 😕

Fan Monitor for the Chassis Fan, and Power Fan read zero?

That's not a typo, that's what came with the computer. Why do you hope it's a typo, is there something wrong, and what's a HTPC?

I'm kind of a rookie when it comes to what's in computers.
 
HTPC = Home Theatre Personal Computer....used to watch computer/DVD movies on the bigscreen and/or mass MP3 players.

HTPC's are usually very small to fit in with all your TV/DVD/Audio equipment. They typically have a small form-factor case, and cooling is minimal for both size and noise issues.
 
Dude, I would bet you money that CPU is suppose to be an XP2200+ .... no AMD XP CPU runs on 100FSB, and if you take 133x13.5 you get roughly 1.8GHz (XP2200+) speed

fix the problem stat!
