POST message-fan speed too slow...


Recently when I power on my PC, which has an AMD 64 4800+ and an ASUS A8N-E motherboard, i get a message at POST which says that my CPU fan speed is too slow. Anyone have some wisdom on what's happening here?

Could be that the fan warning speed is set to high in BIOS

What would you mean by "too high?" A temperature setting?

Sorry, I see some of the settings in the BIOS, but don't always have the confidence to adjust them unless I have a pretty specific step by step, like for memory timings, etc.

Different size, and sound level fans have different rpms that they operate at. And if the system says that 1400 rpm is to slow for the fan to cool the cpu even though 1400 rpm could be cooling better than the motherboard is aware of.

Are you using stock fan? If you changed the fan to a larger one turn off fan alarm in bios. Should be a section called hardware monitoring or something similar.

I'm using the stock AMD CPU fan because it's supposed to be fantastic. A good setup of copper pipes, good/smart fan.

I have changed a few things in ASUS_Prob...not fan speeds. I changed the highest acceptable temp for the CPU to 67 degrees celsius...the lowest choice available, which is interesting because AMD says 65 is the max temp.

I'm going to bump this one once. AMD sends me to ASUS and ASUS is not responding. Anyone have wisdom to share?
