Having a problem, can you help me out?

[DigitalCancer]

Ok, I've gotta E6400 w/ stock cooling. The other day after removing one of my HD's, the long wire from my 120mm case fan got tangled on the blade of my CPU fan for a sec, i didn't notice it until my comp beeped at me and i seen that my temp was 59c (i use Fox One, came with mobo) and so i quickly shut'er down and then noticed the fan. So i untangle it (wasn't bad, just enuff to stop it) and then start back up. Now EVERYTIME i go into fox one, it'll do fine for a sec, but then the Alarm goes off telling me that my cpu fan has stopped, then it jumps to 2200ish rpm again. It'll do this over and over, just intermittently. I've sat and watched that fan and it doesn't slow-down at all. I figured maybe the program was messed up, somehow, so i uninstalled w/ no results. So I got scared and went to Fry's and bought a brand new HS/F and installed it, SAME THING. So its obviously not the fan itself. So i've now formatted and everything, re-installed the stock hs/f once again, and its STILL doing it!!! Can someone please help me figure this out? Any more info needed just ask.

Its on a FoxConn 975X7AB
C2D E6400 Stock Cooler
no O/C done

My heats are around 43c right now idle. Altho I could have swore that Fox One was telling me 20-22c all this time, but...i don't have proof of that. Is this a good temp for my cpu to be at w/ no o/c'ing done?

well i could say with relative certainty that your idle temps were not at 20c. 43 sound a little high, but mabye realistic for stock cooling. As for your problem, i would say the RPM sensor on the mobo got b0rked somehow. There should be an option to disable the alarms in Fox one. If not, i would try using a different program to monitor temps and RPM's, such as speedfan or systool. If you try these and still get an alarm, disable all RPM sensors. If you are worried about cooking your cpu should the fan actually die, just be sure that you have the shut-down temp in the BIOS set to like 60 or 65C, and you should be safe.

well i checked the temp in my bios just now, it reads off at 36c (directly after reboot) where fox one said 43c. Also, my rpm in bios was 1300ish rpm. Know of a good tool that will monitor temp/rpm?? I can't use systool cause they don't have my mobo in there and speedfan just doesn't seem to cooperate with me. -=/
