I opened up my newly put-together PC last night, and to my huge surprise, the fan on my Zalman HS/Fan (on my new Pentium 2.4C @3ghz) isn't moving!

If I give it a push with my finger, the fan starts up and stays on, but why wouldn't it start on its own!?!

Amazingly, the chip seems to be ok - I've mostly just run Winamp on it, though I did play a bit of MOH:AA Spearhead too.



Also, is there anything more basic that MBM to monitor system temps and/or fan speeds?

I would definitely suggest not using the computer at all until you have proper cooling for the CPU.

Is it hooked up directly to the motherboard with some temp stuff built into it to control it? Try hooking straight into a molex connector using an adapter if need be.

it is plugged into the mobo with a little 3 pin connector..

For now I am just leaving the side panel off and manually giving the fan a boost when I turn the cpu on...I am just thankful and somewhat amazed the cpu is ok!
