hello adrien.as i said, your motherboard sensors could be reporting 0 RPM because the fans do not provide a sensor readout and are connected directly to the power supply, or the software you're using could be reporting 0RPM to indicate that the fans are not installed or connected directly to the mainboard to provide a readout. without looking at your computer while its on, its difficult to make any assumptions as to what's going on. the majority of smaller motherboards only have connections for 1 or 2 extra fans with a sensor readout function. ask paul if the fans have a molex connection or weather they're using a 3 pin mainboard connection to get their power. chances are they'll be molex which means they're wired directly to the power supply.
all the best, Mo. On 27/01/2015 07:30, Adrien Collins wrote:
Hi Mo again Just mulling this over, if my power supply was to fail or, if my power supply was to fail, it wouldn't stop the fans working, I assume it would stop working altogether, it runs my drives ok so I assume it is ok, what else would stop the fans from working? It is strange. Is it easy to up-grade the bios?

You could try HW Monitor. link is below. that seems to be fine regarding your CPU. if its just warm that's normal for any computer. is it an AMD? they always tend to get hotter... http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html cheers, Mo.

I had a new power supply fitted to my desktop last year, I have just noticed this morning, after running the desktop for aperiodof time, perhaps a few hours, my desktop gets quite warmontop, the power supply was replaced last year because thefanin the old one seized up. I have checked the fans belowthepower supply, I think there are two fans below, theyseemtobe putting out cold air although this morning they were putting out a lot of warm air, I have just checked theside,there is air coming out of the side vent too. At first I thought my cpu fan may be playing up but I am not quitesurehow I would know this. I had a few problems with my pconThursday, it wouldn't shut off or shut down, I rolled it back and this morning I installed norton utilities andfoundseveral errors, in fact several hundred and fixed them.Iinstalled speed fan, the temperature of the cpu seems tobea bit high, again I am not sure what the temperatureshouldbe, I turned the pc off for the afternoon, let it coolrightdown but I put it back on at 4 pm, after 2 hours it is getting warm again. Is this normal? Should I beconcerned?There is some air coming out of the power supply itselfbutnot a lot. What should my cpu temperature be? I assumethatif anything serious went wrong my pc would shut off to protect itself? Also listening to it it sounds a bitnoisybut it could be vibration on my desk. I have it sittingonacarpet tile. The desktop is one I had built a few yearsagoin 2012, I use windows 7 pro on it. I may be worryingfornothing but I pick up on noises and this doesn't quitesoundright to me.
