I installed EasyTune5 from the CD that came with my motherboard and checked the hardware settings. I now see the following under PC Heatth|Hardware Monitor: Fans - CPU RED Alert, RPM @ 802; PW! 1 & Syetem RED Alert, RPM @ 0
Now, I also have Everest Ultimate Edition 2006 and it reports that all is fine (temp and fans).
So... shall I assume that the EasyTune5 is inaccurate? What am I missing?
My system:
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+, 2400 MHz (12 x 200)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-M59SLI-S5 w/nVIDIA nForce 590 SLI
RAM: 2048 MB (Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400PRO - DDR2-800, PC2-6400) BIOS: Award Modular (06/19/06)
Video: BFG - NVIDIA GeForce 7950 GT OC (w/512 MB DDR3)
Case: Antec 900-series
PSU: Thermaltake "Thoughpower" 650W, model W0128RU Main HDD: WDC WD740ADFD-00NLR1 "Raptor" (74 GB, 10,000 RPM SATA-II) Data HDD: ST3300622AS (300 GB, 7200 RPM, SATA-II) O/S: Microsoft Windows XP Pro SP2
The fans that are reporting 0 rpm - can you see them spinning? There's your answer.
Let's see... I have the CPU fan which is spinning yet I still have a RED alert.
For the two others, I assume that the motherboard is not detecting them as I do have the Antec 900-series case with one large top fan, two front fans and one rear fan. The PSU's fan is also spinning.

Sounds like a sensor problem to me. Why don't you try Speedfan? Once you get it configured, it should be more accurate because it allows you to tweak the settings for your exact configuration. It takes some fiddling, though.
I assume none of your fans are on a manual fan controller? If so, you may want to disable the fan controller in BIOS. May be it's causing a conflict.
I run almost the same set up with the same chip, board.
