First things first.
Have you checked with another fan to make sure it's not a bad fan?
And that Asus board, I *believe* there are more than 1 chassis fan port, have yuo tried one of those?

What logic does the motherboard use to decide when to activate the rear chassis fan (plugged into CHA_FAN1)? Is there a BIOS setting, or is it something else? I've seen it running while I was installing Windows less than a few hours ago; I'm pretty sure the fan itself isn't broken. FYI: Running Motherboard: ASUS A8N32-SLI nForce4 Socket 939 Case: Thermaltake XASER Armor Series VA8000BWS Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ 2.2 Ghz Dual Core |
