Firstly, the CPU in question is the E6600, with the stock heatsink.
Okay so this problem has only started happening over the past couple of days,
the system was built last friday.
Anyway if the PC has been off for a while the CPU fan doesnt come on straight away when its turned on, sometimes not coming on until Windows has fully opened, meaning I'm left with the CPU Fail Alarm until then.
Sometimes if I have to shut down my computer and then restart it within a few minutes the fan takes around 5 seconds to come on meaning I'm given a short blast of the alarm.
Is there any way to fix this or am I going to need to buy a new fan/heatsink?
If anyone else has had something similar happen to them I would be pleased to know how you solved it.
Also how long can the CPU stand without having the fan on? Its running at stock levels at the moment.
