OH BOY

[unforgiven]

I ran a test on my computer and it said that my cpu fan is not working or spinning too slowly...i will post the results here in a sec helpp me biggggg

[unforgiven]

spinning too slowly

[unforgiven]

heres what i got


<<< Mainboard Information >>>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CPU Fan Speed: 82rpm
HD / Aux Fan Speed: 83rpm
Notice 224: SMBIOS/DMI information may be inaccurate.
Warning 2507: Mainboard has too few memory slots. Upgrading
the memory may be difficult or expensive.
Tip 2511: Some memory slots are free so the memory can
be easily upgraded.
Warning 2519: One of the system fans has failed or is
spinning too slowly.

specs are

P4 2.4 ghz processor

geforce 4 fx5200 graphics card

memory is 256 333ddr

Go in your bios and check your cpu temp and fan speed
try using MB5 monitor I will try to fine the link for ya it&#39;s free :wave:

BIOS should be more accurate, touch it with ur hand and find out.

pause---take a deep breath and relax----sandra is not alway accurate and actually should not be taken serious.

in yourr bios, it should tell you what the temp and the rpm speed of the fan/cpu. this will be most accurate. also make a note that some p4 motherboards use a fan control for the p4 chip. you can disable this sometimes in the bios. what maybe happening is the cpu fan is slowing down becuase it&#39;s not getting that hot. in this case you would actually hear the fan louder at times.

i would strictly go by what the bios says and not look at sandra for this.

As I and Mr Bigg mentioned the bios is your best bet. MB5 if setup properly will
also read the sensors on your mortherboard and you can use the dashboard to monitor your rig. plug the cpu fan into fan hearder 2 and plug a fan of know rpm
into fan 1 and see if that also runs slow. Note the fan must have three wires
red + black - yellow rpm. :thumbs:
