Asus PC Probe problem

[cwin]

On Asus PC Probe, i can neither switch on software cooling, or control the fan.

My MB manual is here: ftp://www.asus.it/pub/ASUS/mb/sock47...1133_p4g8x.pdf

Look at the section for PC Probe and it says that you can control the fan and use software cooling.

I have an Asus Socket A nForce2 mainboard which has a feature called "Q-Fan". The feature must be enabled in BIOS.

Qfan is enabled in my BIOS

Ahah! but you both missed somthing. While qfan is USED the fan must be plugged into the (PSU) header I think. Or its the case one. Look in manual under qfan as thats where I read it. Either way you dont use the cpu fan header for cpu fan when useing qfan control! Weird!

When Q-FAN is enabled in bios it tells you to connect it to the PWR_FAN1 header. Maybe you have to connect it there because it is the only header the board can change the voltage on I assume??? Strange.

Ah, I think it bypasses the fan failure shut down thats active on the cpu header. The lowered rpm's by q-fan my drop rpm's low enuff to force a reboot-nasty.
