dpoverlord Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Greetings, On my mother board if you were to look at the fan that is right is 1 1/2 inches above the PCI-Express slot and to the right there is a white fan. Lately I have been hearing a high pitched sound intermittently coming from it. I have tried tapping the fan and the sound goes away. Only to come back a few hours later. While this was happening I also noticed that the fan on my CPU was staggering in and out of power. Any ideas as to what may be causing this?

Scott P Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 The northbridge fan isn't exactly the most reliable fan out there. you will want to replace it with the vc-re chipset fan from SVC. You can even find a few tutorials on this site on ho to do the replacement. Be sure to click through the SVC link on this site to make sure SVC knows where you came from. The varying cpu fan speed is probably just the temperature monitoring system on the motherboard keeping the chip nice and cool.

soundx98 Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Have you tried going into "System Health" in the Bios and setting all fan temps to 25C. That should keep them running full speed all the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpoverlord Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 When I get back home I will check that setting in the bios. Where would I get that fan if that does not solve the problem? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundx98 Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 First thing you need to do is fill in your location cause you could be on the former planet Pluto for all we know. (tapping foot - read the rules) If US there is a link below my sig for SVC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
