MSI K7T266 Pro2 Owners!!

Question, i'm using a Alpha 8045, and have the fan plugged directly in to one of the PSU headers. Because of this, I have no fans plugged in to the CPU fan header. Every time I go to boot, it stops at the post screen with this REALLY irritating alarm, and states that the CPU fan isn't installed and asks me if I want to continue or shut down. Of course, it will continue fine, but this is just irritating as all hell. I've gone thru the bios and didn't see anything regarding this. Did I miss anything? or do I just need to plug in a little fan to that header to bypass that message?
 
Here's what I've read from another post.

<<I just got the MSI K7T266 Pro. I like it so far, but if I could do it all again, I would have gotten shuttle's latest board. It rocks, and you can find it for $89. There are plenty of threads singing praises about it. I'm not aware of any issues with the shuttle, but the MSI has 2 that I know of. The first being it needs a 3 wire fan plugged into the cpu fan connector, or it gives off a warning of possible cpu damage. The other problem is with the latest bios slowing down memory performance unless you have an xp cpu. The Epox board has it's fans around here too, but I never heard of them, so I passed.>>
