Dead stock Intel fan?

[Skizzy]

Today I went from a Foxconn mobo to the DS3 mobo. Upon getting everything set up, I turned on the computer, and the CPU fan wasn't spinning, but all other fans were. Panicked, I shut down the computer and tried the SYS_FAN socket (was plugged into the CPU_FAN).

The fan spins for a half a second upon turning on the computer, but then stops. (this happens for both SYS_FAN and CPU_FAN)

My system POSTs and I can see it POST on my monitor.

Is my stock intel fan dying? I don't want to have to buy a new fan unless I absolutely need to.

how many fans are plugged into the board?

It might be a BIOS setting, with my DS3 if I have the fan setting on Auto, the CPU fan won't spin until the CPU gets a bit warm, so set it to Intel QST if you have that setting, since it'll have the fan running at startup at the lowest speed, and will speed up on higher loads when the cpu gets hotter.

Just that one. Excluding the PSU fan and 7900GS stock fan.

I leave the case on my computer open at all times, so no need for many fans.

Thanks for the reply, makes me feel relieved. I'll try this now.

All right, set it to the Intel setting, and it works perfectly now, though a little warm. I never reapplied any paste when I took the HSF off, so I guess I'll have to get some.

Thanks again for the replies.
