it looks like it doesn't have a fan so it's just a heat sync i'm guessing

sounds like power/noise saving feature. fan won't spin up until the processor heats up.

Its thermaly triggered, therefore the fan only spins when A) the CPU gets hot or B) when the PC first boots and all fans connected to the MB run at full speed.

So did you buy Crysis Wars?

Reply to bpogdowz

Check the CPU Q-fan Control/Profile under Power in the BIOS.

Reply to Zorg

oh i checked it in the bios , hey ur right "all the options are disabled"

i enabled them the fan started spinning =O !!!

thx but how do i make it spin faster @ 1500rpm

its spinnin at 300rpm atm =[

Reply to kdawgsss

Make any changes in the BIOS that will help you i.e., change the profile, or get a dummy fan and put the CPU fan on the PSU.

Reply to Zorg

Most of us read the manual to learn how to do it.
