Re: Chipset Fan Warning

My mobo has a setting to give an audible beep during startup when there is a problem with the chipset fan (not running ??). I've only received this warning twice over the past two weeks and I disabled the warning after today. I have ASUS Probe that gives data on fan speeds, voltages, and temperatures. Each time I've got the "warning", I immediately fire up ASUS Probe. Each time the data says all fans are fine, and running, and so is everything else. Is this just a dirt/dust problem or is it something more serious ?? TIA for all responses.



Have you opened the case and looked?
