Sounds like the heeader on ur mobo died dude. It is perfectly safe, normally I dont have my cpu fan plugged into the mobo at all. I use a molex from the psu (obviously that uses a 3pin-molex adapter). The bios should be able to monitor the other fan's RPMs though.
You might try downloading MBM5 its motherboard monitoring software it will tell you your fan speeds, if that doesnt work there is program called speedfan that will do the trick too. |

it should be fine in another header; or you can run it off a molex. I might be wrong tho

Ok here is what i did (stay with me here it can get a bit confusing) i had the cpu fan plugged into the correct cpu fan header on MOBO. i also have a Vantec 80mm case fan ( the illumated ones) plugged into the power fan header on MOBO...now this morning went the CPU fan went out, i unplugged my vamtec fan from the power fan header and then plugged in the CPU dan there...all went good..so what i did just now was leave the CPU fan plugged into the POWER FAN header and plugged my vantec into the CPU fan header...and i got no errors...both worked. SO i went back and plugged the CPU fan back into the correct CPU header and it seems fine now....could it at all be? ( i doubt it) that i had a illumated fan plugged into the mobo? i dont know cause it makes no sense...i switched headers and everything is fine now..so i just removed my vantec fan for now and plugged the cpu back into its correct header and its working...can anyone make sense out of this?

This may be a dumb questtion bit i udpated the BIOS yesterday to the newest version...Would that at all have anything to do with it or no? |

one week old? play dumb and return/exchange/rma it unless you're confident that it was human error and not the hardware. but that's just my two cents (and now i'm poor)

You really should not run ANY fans off of the fan headers on the motherboard. A very low powered fan such as one that comes on the stock HSF is OK to run on the fan header, but nothing like a Tornado (which you said you had running on a header) or other high powered fan.

seeing as how nobody knows the exact problem, if there's a potential chance it's a problem w/ the mobo headers, then it's worth rma'ing. fans are pretty crude pieces of technology, i'd say it's not the fans' fault

Just plug your fan in a molex connector and it had no chance to die (except if the fan die lol)
some board had in the bios a setting, if the fan stop spinning the computer shutdown, use this setting if you have it... (unless you are watercooling  )

Overclock This!

I've got the same motherboard and have not experienced that problem at all. Ran a Stock HSF for about a week, then installed a Gigabyte 3d-Cooler... Both on the MB Header.
Since the fan is fine now, I would suspect that something got caught up in it causing it to halt, but with the money you have invested in the rig, you should not be runnig the stock HSF anyway.... Spend the $30-$40 or so on a quality unit.... ANd dont forget to Overclock! THis is Extremeoverclocking.com ya know.... I would definatly instal MBM-5 and keep an eye on everything... Also, FYI, the Motherboard also Monitors fan speed on all 3 Fan headers on the MB. They are available in Bios and in Easy-TUne (Overclocking/Monitor software that shipped with the Motherboard) |
