477069 2006-08-08 08:24:00 I swapped out today my old mb to a new Albatron PX865PEC Pro mb to accomadate my new 3.0ghz ht pentium 4 , Everything is working perfect except my power supply , on the old mother board the power supply fan would shut down right after the post screen , But the new setup the fan just keeps going and won't stop thus making it noisy , Is this caused by the mb not shutting it down , I would have thought the newer mb would have this feature like the old one if this is the case.
Or is there something i am missing.

477070 2006-08-08 08:39:00 lol the power supply fan is never meant to stop, I would say you inadvertantly fixed a fault.

Some PSU's have speed controlled fans but they only slow down and speed up not stop especially for any large length of time.

477071 2006-08-08 08:49:00 i assume this is on startup not shutdown ??

some motherboards have varible speed built into them which you can hook the power supply fans to. it will slow down the fan depending on temp. sounds like your old one had that but your new one hasn't or isn't turned on (bios option)

477072 2006-08-08 09:06:00 cannot seem to find any options in the bios for this , Strange how before i put the new board in the p/s would shut down after post then , i never had any problems with overheating or anything , oh well will just have to buy some earmuffs lol presso (10113)
