Fan speed with probe and bios on A8N-SLI

[Jack2000]

There is a power fan connector on the motherboard but neither the bios or pc probe monitor that?

Why they put it on the board??

So you can plug in a case fan???? C&Q(cool and quiet) requires a monitor for it to work on the HS&F, and chipset also is monitored in the bios which has an alarm shutdown feature, the fact you can look at he speeds is extra. You can set the thresholds of these fans in several places including probe.

Wondering too... :roll:
You got lots of fan connectors:
CPU-fan: Monitored, Q-Fan, cool
Chipset fan: Monitored, but ripped the little noisemaker (passive cooler) and plugged the VGA fan in instead
Power fan: No Monitoring
Case fan1: Monitored, plugged in the PSU monitor cable
Case fan2: Not monitored

It's a pity...I had BX-boards capable of more monitoring...
So I don't know about the speed of my two case fans...

For the PC Probe to monitor your chassis/power fan, you have to connect the 3-pin fan plug all the way down to the 3-pin connector on the A8N-SLI mobo, marked "CHA1 FAN"

I just wish I could make that stuipd chipset fan stop making some much blasted noise its louder then the rest of my fans execpt for the psu on high!:disgust:

I hear asus came out with a new one to bad I am out of RMA range now.

Just have a look at the big thread about this here...
If you want silence (like me) then install a passive one...
