We just had a 15 minute power outage at random while I was in the middle of playing Battlefield 3 on my gaming computer.
While I do have my computer plugged into a surge protector, everything is plugged into a switched power outlet, so during the outage I switched the outlet off until power returned to prevent any serious surge damage incase my protector doesn't handle it.
I use a Corsair H60 Liquid cooler, with a single fan radiator sandwiched between two 120mm fans.
Anyways, when I booted my computer up when the power returned, my ASUS motherboard BIOS is now giving me CPU fan speed errors, telling me that its running slower then the warning speed (Default Warning Speed is 500 RPM). Looking at my bios monitoring screen its showing my CPU temps are fine but my fan speed after a cold boot is 350 rpm and steadily rising.
The pump and fans seem to be running fine, no weird sounds or vibrations, just the usual quiet hum of the pump that I've heard since day one of installation (its not very loud, I have to actually get pretty close to here the pump).
I dunno what happened, I'm not overheating. My AMD Normally runs at about 40*C idling and may get up to 55*C under HEAVY load (probably would run cooler if I clean out the radiator but its not that dirty yet and its a pain to remove the radiator and fans to clean it and replace the set up after) but for the most part it seems to be doing its job and I'm not crashing or rebooting from heat.
I hope that it isn't anything serious as I don't have any money to fix or replace anything, and I wont have money in the foreseeable future (considering the lack of unskilled labour in Southern Ontario right now)
