Running the HSF after shutdown question.

[SniperXP]

Hi All,

I have a GA-7VRXP mobo and I would like to know if there are any way to keep the cpu_fan and/or the sys_fan keep on running after shutting down your system? Someone told me that it can be done on the BIOS but I don't seem to see that option anywhere on the manual. Any ideas guys/gurus? Or any electronic circuit that can be connected to the header that can do this function? I would like to have the fans running for a few minutes after shutdown.

Athlon XP 2000+
GA-7VRXP Rev. 1.1 BIOS F4

Asus 8200 Deluxe Geforce3

I have an idea of what you're talking about, but I'm at work so I can't check my BIOS.

You can always try connecting up a 2nd power supply devoted to just them

Even in the "off" position, there is current available in one of the P/S circuits...
If you have a volt meter, test every pair (simpler for me than finding the specs). There has to be potential somewhere due to the need for 5v. standby power. This is used for WOL (if avail.), modem start on signal (if avail.) and ATX Power On/Off Switch (always avail.).
