Asus Probe Chassis Fan Not Reporting

[Vader]

A8V-E Deluxe MoBo
1005 BIOS
No Overclocking & Stable as a rock
ASUS PC Probe version 24 (32 Bit)

All 4 fan connections show correct fan speeds in the BIOS but Chassis
fan is not reported in PC Probe. Fan speed is reported as zero in
Probe and must be disabled to eliminate the "bonging" alarm.

I looked into MBM5 but it does not show compatibility with the A8V
series MoBo's.

I'm running a coolermaster case with LOTS of fans so I'm not really
worried about overheating but . . . it would be nice to monitor all 4
fan connectors.

Thanks,

You need the 4th wire for case fan monitoring and Qfan2. My P5GDC will not
monitor or control case (or cpu for that matter) unless the fan plug has the
4 wire fan header plug.

Ed,

Thanks for the reply. The MoBo only has 3-pin connectors for these
fans and the BIOS screens report the fan speeds correctly. Also, Qfan
seems to be working on the CPU ands chipset fan since I can hear them
change speed as the workload increases or decreases. I've never seen
a fan with 4 wires.

The new Qfan2 on the new boards, mine included, use a 4 pin CPU fan plug
header. I have a P5GDC-D. I changed the stock Intel HS/Fan with a second
party fan and it has 3 pins and Qfan2 is now disabled. It is as quiet or
quieter now anyway, and cooler too, so it is not a big issue. Looking
further at my board it seems that the chassis fan headers are only 3 pin so
now I am a bit confused...... I assumed all the fan headers would be the
same. (Assuming can put a foot in your mouth I have manual controls for
my chassis fans and do not use the motherboard headers, but now you have me
wondering what the h@(( not having the 4th pin is doing to disable Qfan2. It
is now grayed out in the bios. Everything is cool with this system so I am
not going to worry about it. It seems yours is fine too.
