just after finishing my newest build and my arctic cooling freezer 7 fan wont work. it tries to spin when comp is turned on but barely makes a full cycle before it stops, the bios also reports a cpu fan error. i thought it might be the mobo but the stock cooler fan works. i also tried the arctic fan in my old cpu but it didnt work either.

anyone have any idea what the problem is?
 
i can spin the fan easily, it feels jst like a normal fan.

ye a friend told me that the new coolers only spin at certain temps but it tries to spin when the computer is turned on and bios is reporting a cpu fan error.
 
:/ i removed and the thermal paste n put the stock cooler on now><

i did have it plugged n when i checked the temp in the bios it said 40oC and it wasnt spinning when i was still testing it
 
sorry wud=would so used to msn:P

ok ill load prime95 shortly n test it

its an asus p7p55d-e mobo so the asus fan expert program can be used to to change the threshold? or would i need a diff program?
 
ok ran prime95 with the artic cooler fan pluged in and got this:


as u can see the cpu fan didnt spin at all even thou temp was wll over 60:/
 
yep i have the side panel open n im able to look at it, i also went into asus fan expert n set the settings to turbo telling the fan to blow at full spd all the time
 
hmm seems i found the problem, the fan blades had come lose from its stand but hadnt completely from the fan so it looked like nothing was wrong with it, but i was able to push the blades back in n its spinning perfectly now

ok so now i need some thermal paste>< is arctic silver 5 the best?
