Asus P4VP-MX

[Bezerk]

Could someone tell me why the CPU fan runs at 5300 rpms all the time when
using the mb. I replaced an intel motherboard with the P4VP-MX and now the
CPU fan runs full speed all the time. I tested the fan on another pc with
the Intel mb and it works fine.....running at slow rpms. I have looked
through the BIOS to see if there is a way to slow the fan but had no luck.
Is there something I am missing, or should I look at purchasing a fan speed
control. Thanks for the help.

how hot is the cpu, motherboard, and what happens to these temps if you take
the side off?
a simple way to check these temps is to go into the bios - it will be there
somewhere.

there are several potential causes including any combination of:
incorrectly mounted CPU heatsink,
incorrectly applied thermal gunk,
poor air circulation in the case,
and so on.
