Title pretty much sums it up. I bought a new Zalman cpu fan and installed it. After that I went to boot up the computer and everything was fine till I got a "CPU Fan Error" during boot but I hit F1 and just skipped it. Computer is running fine, idles at 27c and load at 45c, but I noticed I lost an unlocked core when I did the fan installation. I have a Phenom II x2 560 B.E. I believe (its the Phenom 2 core at 3.3ghz), and when I first built the computer I was able to unlock all 4 cores. Now though, I only have 3 cores... any ideas on why this may have happened? Problem with how I installed the new fan maybe?
Also on a side note, the Zalman was a 3pin connecter and my MoBo has a 4pin cpu fan connecter so I just hooked it up in the chassis fan pins. Could that be the problem???
