A8n sli deluxe problem

[ferretmaster]

Good day,
I have a a a8n sli motherboard. I think the fan on the motherboard may have a problem. Does anyone have any info on what i should do? Do i need to buy a new motherboard fan. I have had the board for over a year.

Heres a picture of the error i am recieving on power up.

thankyou

Big Enough Picture!!!! Try using paint to chop it down / resize in future.

You can swap the fan on the mobo with little fuss afaik.

Now how do i get this to fit on? will i need to buy a heatsink or should i just slam it on top of the asus heatsink adn hope for the best? It doesnt look like it will really fit though? argh

thankyou for all help.

Though a little late to be mentioning this, you can ask Asus for a replacement fan, as yours is over a year old it would probably be a revised version (to what is on your board now) too.
