E6400 Fan Problem When CPU Fan Control set to Auto

Ok, thought my E6400 stock fan had a mechanical problem but I've solved it by changing the BIOS settings (I'm using a Gigabyte DS3 board). CPU fan speed control method was set to Auto, changing it to Intel QST mode seems to fix it, and I've also changed the control mode to PWM. So it seems there's a problem with the Auto control settings on the DS3 BIOS - I've not updated the BIOS so it's perhaps fixed by new BIOS versions.

Heh, well I was lucky as well in that I'd turned on the CPU fan failure warning when poking around the EasyTune settings, so I got the warning as soon as it happened and no damage resulted. That's a setting that should really be on by default...
