Guest Man T Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 Re: Chip fan stop or too slow Hi, This is exactly the message: 'Your computer CHIP Fan Fail or speed too low. You can also disable this warning message in SETUP'. So I think yes, that is the chip on the motherboard, not CPU. I looked through the lateral glass panel by a torch and both CPU fan and motherboard fan is spinning. So it means the motherboard fan is spinning too slow.

I had to use a very small pair of diagonal wire cutters to get the rivets out. Then because of the way my case is made I had to loosen the MB and shake out the remainder of the rivets from the back. Clean the chip thoroughly with rubbing alcohol and Qtip. put a small amount of paste on. The new fan may come with a rubber pad to fit over areas surrounding the chip heat-sink. Use the old one and an exacto knife to cut a square opening in the new one so it will fit surrounding the chip, not covering it. Depending on the new fan model, you may have to trim the little ears that come with the new one so they won`t interfere with anything else. I did. Then, with the rubber pad already in place, put the new chip fan on the chip. Push one rivet into its respective hole and then the other. When you reboot, you`ll get a BIOS message saying your chip fan isn`t working if the new fan only has two wires. If this is the case, go into BIOS and disable the alarm for the chip fan. I didn`t like doing this because I wanted to keep all alerts but I couldn`t find a fan locally that had provisions for a speed output. Anyway, if you installed ASUS Probe when you first put in XP, it may come up griping about the same issue. Just go to "Settings" on the GUI and disable the program at startup. It looks like if a fan goes down, you will be alerted in the BIOS anyway. Good Luck.
