I have a P5E64 WS Evo X48 chipset MB that I just inherited from my boss as payment for doing the upgrade on his gaming system.
It came with a Core2Extreme QX9770 and Scythe Kabuto cooler already attached, so I am very happy to say the least.
But the fan is running at around 200RPM according to BIOS, I also get the CPU fan error warning, and can see the blades spinning so I know it is not a misreading sensor.
I have tried putting Q-Fan setting to performance and it increased to just under 300RPM. I disabled Q-Fan in BIOS and it made no difference. The fan doesn't seem to have a fan speed controller on it either.
I also notice that the fan cable only has 3 pins on the header. I am thinking of buying a new 120mm fan with 4 pins, but I'm sure this is something I can resolve in the BIOS.
What am I missing???
I also noticed that the CPU multiplier is set to x6, not the stock x8 and it is idling at about 50C, so it is definitly not cooling enough. I want to increase to x10 which should get me to the happy 4Ghz mark but if the fan isn't spinning, I won't try.
