4 pin cpu fan not working on M4N82 Deluxe

Hi. I have recently purchased a M4N82 Deluxe motherboard and my AMD 965 stock fan does not work when i plug it into the 4 pin cpu socket. I have had to use it on a chasis fan socket. Does anyone have any idea how i could get it to work in the cpu socket? Sorry if this is a nooby question, i dont know allot about computers. Thanks.

What were the cpu temps, On some Gigabyte motherboards the would not start until a certain temperature is reached, not sure if this is the same with your board.

I thought that may be why, but i let it get to 50C and it did not turn on.

Did you plug the CPU_Fan on the white pin area top side of the socket/RAM area? you can see the mark on CPU_fan that you need to plug for the heatsink to run..

for Case fan you need either 4-pin molex from PSU or if it small 3 pins then it use as either SYS_Fan or PWR_Fan.

I also own M4N82 as well and run with X6 1090T that run so cool but I only using my own Thermaltake Venus 12 heatsink cos it has lots of good copper and big blade fan.

Does the fan work?

Try changing the fan options in the BIOS. Change from PWM to voltage, change the tempos lower etc.
