Hi,
I just bought a new AMD Phenom II X4 945 as an upgrade for my HP Pavilion Slimline. I've installed the cpu correctly using the stock heat sink and fan, and plugged the cpu fan cable into the 'CPU FAN' slot on the motherboard. The CPU fan cable is 4 pin, and the socket on the motherboard is only 3 pin.
On startup, I get the message "ERROR: CPU Fan Has Failed! PC will automatically power down in a few seconds. Service the PC immediately to prevent damage to the PC.". The fan does start though. I can enter BIOS, but can't change anything due to it being locked by the manufacturer (as far as I can tell). I can make the PC start up by repeatedly pressing f2. On speedfan is says my temp3 (cpu) is at 55C idle, and core 53C idle. This is obviously too high, and the fan isn't at a high enough RPM.
So is there a way to force my CPU fan to run at near enough 100% without using the bios (I don't seem to be able to access anything on there)?
Thanks
