OK so I just hit the power button on my new build to find the CPU fan is not spinning.. Everything else works fine. I did notice when I hit the power button 2 times once in a while the cpu fan will start up.

Any idea plz!



I have a Freezer 7 pro with a e8400
GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L LGA 775
Case 900

DS3L is notorious for doing that: cpu fan not spinning up at cold boot, but spinning up after a while. The cpu is cool enough. That's why.

I believe its called SpeedStep technology. Basically, your fan only spins when the CPU gets to a certain temperature. My DS3L does that as well. It's nothing to worry about. You can disable it in the BIOS if it bothers you.
