ASUS Probe is telling me...

That my chassis fan isn't spinning...

When I'm watching the thing spin right now. It's workin' fine, but ASUS Probe is telling me different.

Shouldn't be worried should I? I mean, as long as it's spinning then everything should be OK, right?

>_<

Nothing to worry about at all, its probably spinning too slow for the RPM to register.

I have the fan setting on high, to test what you just said. It's quite load now because it's spinning really fast.

Oh, and when I first built this computer it was saying the fan was spinning. It only started telling me otherwise about a month ago.

I don't have one. Would it be worth buying one even though the one I'm using works perfectly? (Just not recognised as working)

As long as its spinning there's nothing to worry about

Alright. That's cool. Thanks mate.

yeah. or if your concerned about it, borrow one. if it shows the rpm with it then that means theres nothing wrong with your board. just a dogdy fan

i personally wouldnt worry about a chassis fan at all, even if it wouldnt spin theres still the psu fan pushing out air

Also, some fans dont have working rpm sensors or the rpm cable might be damaged, nothing to worry about if the fan is spinning...

I have 2 identical 120mm chassis fans plugged into the P5B and Probe detects one but not the other. BIOS detects them both though so I assume it may be a software problem. Don't worry about it.

Strangely, when I updated the software to version 1.02.01, it detected both but after a restart it broke again and has remained like that.

It's pretty much the same here. It was fine, telling me it was spinning and such. Then I formatted, reinstalled Probe and suddenly told me it wasn't.

Bit dodgy eh?

Anyway, thanks for the replies everybody.
