I just installed Asus Probe v2.22.04 and I was looking into the monitor
summary.
I noticed that two parameters were unchecked (power fan and chassis fan), so
I checked them and it immediately started making a pinging sound. I got the
message "power fan below treshold". The same for chassis fan.
I left all treshold settings to default. And I can't seem to set the
tresholds below 600. I'm sure the power fan is blowing because I can feel
it.

Any ideas?


One other thing: when I go to the tab 'utility' the contents are grayed out.
What utility?


MB: AsusP4b266
OS: Win2kSP4.

Do you have a chassis fan and if so, is it plugged into the connector on the
MB? A fan other than the CPU fan (and the one inside the PS) is sometimes
considered optional. If you don't have one it is worth the $5-10 to get one.

Not all power supplies have fan monitoring capability. If yours does there
should be a thin two-wire cable coming from the PS and it should be plugged
into the fan connector on the MB as well. It only has two leads since it is
just the signal wire and ground.

one.

I don't think so, never noticed it. Is it essential?
I did notice that the MB temperature is a little higher than the CPU
temperature.

I'll have a look when I have my case open.

The CPU temperature is normally higher than the motherboard temperature
since the CPU is the biggest heat generator. Heat is the enemy of electronic
components so anything you can do to reduce the temperature of the
components is a good thing so paying a few dollars for a case fan is well
worth the money. Also, if you have bunch of ribbon cables hanging over the
motherboard try to postion them so they are away from the components so the
air can circulate better.

Yes that's what I thought first too, but ofcourse the CPU gets cooled and
the MB doesn't.

I understood there even are round IDE cables nowadays.
At the moment the temperatures stay well within the margin: CPU 30C and MB
34C. Boy would it be handy if there were a copy option in Probe...
