MS 6117 CPU Fan connector for Celeron

Hi, hope one of you guys can help me out here,
Okay, I've got a Celeron Slot 1 400Mhz/66Mhz and a MS-6117 Ver. 1.1 system board which lacks the PSFAN1 or CFAN1 connectors, it's not that the system board is damaged or whatsoever, it's just not there, ive dl-ed the manual (ver1.0) and they should be there!!.
I don;t know what to do, maybe connecting the cpu fan (original connector) to the system chassis fan jumper SFAN1.
Any suggestions?
Best
Laurence

You can also remove the 12v and GND wires from the header and connect them to a mulex from the power supply directly.
Thanx Assaf, back in business! Dispenzer out.

Using NB fan connector for case fan?

Seeing as the only fan supplies that support fan control are the CPU and NB, if I'm using a Zalman cooler instead of a NB fan to cool the chipset, is it possible to utilise the spare NB fan connector for one of the case fans?
Or is that a silly idea because the speed of the fan will be dictated by the temperature of the NB chipset which may or may not enable sufficient case cooling?
Has anyone tried this?

In actual fact I have 7 x 80mm Cooler Master Fans in my system. 2 in the back, 2 in the front, 2 on the CPU (Hyper6) and 1 on the clear side door. All fans are the CoolerMaster Blue LED type and spin no faster than 2600RPMs. I never slow down the CPU fans ..... system is always on and always doing something stressfull but using Speedfan or CoreCenter I can slow both fans on the CPU down to 20%.
4 of the fans are powered through the mainboard (through PSU) and the other 3 using the PSU molex power connectors (not the FAN_ONLY connectors .... not enough juice ).

X48C with Core 2 Quad CPU - power connector for fan

New at this. First build. So please treat me gently.
The CPU fan's power selector is clearly marked on the X48C (3 pins). The CPU fan's power lead is obvious (4 pins).
What would you gurus recommend I do?

You are so right. I was trying to plug it into the sys fan. Newbie error. Many thanks for the gentle nudge in the right direction.

CPU fan recommendations for dual 800 Quicksilver

It never rains but it pours.
Just a few hours after posting about HD heat issues my CPU fan has gotten really noisy with a slight rattling noise. Yes, it is the CPU fan. Maybe it's the hot weather we are having causing something to expand, or maybe the cleaning I gave it yesterday with compressed air pushed it over the edge. Anyway, I removed the fan, lubricated it with one drop 3M oil under the sticker, replaced it. All dust and dirt is off the blades. I have poked and prodded it to see if there were other items vibrating (e.g., the famous screws touching something), but nothing changes. The sporadic rattling (sometimes disappears for half a minute or so but usually there) really suggests to me that a bearing might be going. At this stage I think it is time to go shopping for a new fan.
This is a dual processor machine of the early QS series so it's like a toaster inside and I'm not sure if any of the standard QS fan recommendations apply to a dual. Of course I want everything - high CFM and silence. I found a lengthy discussion from last December talking about a single processor replacement but I thought I'd solicit current recommendations, especially for dual processor.
Thanks

The specs aren't too hard to find; I just searched: " Sunon PMD1206PTB1". Google brought me to a Sunon site.
http://www.tmcscsi.com/Sunon.shtml
the above link doesn't seem to work as a link, but when I type it into my address bar, it works fine. Go figure!
which tells all. The KDE1206PTV1 fan is a different series and rated at 23.5cfm and 33.5 dBA, which I think we knew; it also runs somewhat slower and draws about half the current. More importantly, there are probably half a dozen 60X60X25mm fans of either the PMD or KDE series that would fit, and would push more or less air at more or less noise. What it doesn't tell is what your ear would call an acceptable compromise. In general, of course, more cfm, more dBA. It also doesn't tell how these stats compare to other brands; I ran it all down at one time, and it's a rather laborious process, but it can be done. I didn't have any frame of reference, so it was all just numbers to me; I set the whole matter aside until just now with your inquiry.
I wouldn't worry about the connectors too much; I fit QS fans to the DA model and wind up connecting them with Molex plugs and no problems. The replaced SilenX fan had three wires, of which only two were used, and it worked. Most PCs use a third wire to turn the fan off or on, or up and down, or something - which Apple doesn't. N.B. If you use the Molex connector, you will note that the red (5v) wire plugs into the yellow (12v) socket; not to worry - it spozed to. The PMD fan I got came with two wires, bared at the ends, but no connector(s). I wound up jury-rigging the connexion. PC accessory houses that sell fans also sell wire adapters of dozens of configurations, just search. My two favourite such houses are Xoxide.com and pcToys.com. I think I got the Sunon fan(s) from Allied Electric (alliedelec.com) for about $12 and $12 s&h, which is a minimum figure. You can ship multiple fans for that.
Sunon says its fans work on the Mag-Lev principle, so lubrication wouldn't help much. What would hurt would be an unbalanced fan, so it might help to clean the crud off the blades - evenly, if possible.
I keep wondering what a slot fan would do to cooling and noise, but that may be a thought better postponed. First should be getting the CPU acceptably cool. I also understand it helps cooling if you clip some of the grillwork in front of or behind the fans (power supply fans, especially).
Just a few thoughts ..... Jon

What is the best CPU/FAN combo for my system

My computer configuration is located in my Signature....
With this type of CPU and motherboard, what kind of heatsink/fan combo would you recommend. I am using the one that came with my 2100 processor and I'm worried because I don't think this will provide adequate CPU cooling. So what CPU/FAN combo would give me the best bang for my buck.

Well I checked at PC Progress and I found a Thermaltake Volocano 10+ and a Thermaltake Volcano 12+ for reasonable prices.
Are these good CPU/Heatsinks and if they are...
Would it be better for me to go with the 12+ instead of the 10+ because it's a higher number? What is the difference between those two models?

Fan connectors for kt3u2... ????

guys,
i am curious what the fan connectors on the kt3 ultra2 board are for...
cfan1 - it says processor fan. of course its straight forward that its the hsf that uses this... but what is the maximum current that it can deliver???
psfan1 - it says power supply fan. i can't figure out exactly how psu's utilize this connector if it does not have a sensor line... also, isn't it that psu fans run by themselves?
sfan1 - system fan... this is where the biggest question lies... what is a "system fan"??? and what kind of fan can it support without burning pcb traces???

the privileges is not the problem cos I can access all objects via sqlplus and the select any table priv is granted directly to the user 'A' thus you shouldnt have any priv's problems with the procedures.
currently there are public synonyms on all the objects , do these synonyms have to be private ?
I know if you import the metadata from the sources then you can specify the schema and dblink , but can you do that when registering the locations ?

MOVED: 3-pin connector for fan

This topic has been moved to Overclockers and Modding Corner.
3-pin connector for fan

Generally, the 3 pin connector on VGA cards is smaller than the CPU fan connector on a motherboard. You would need a converter or you may aslo need to mod the connector on the Zalman.
You could check to see if the actual contacts between the two are the same, in some cases I have been able to use a dental pik to remove the contact pins from the female connector of the original fan's connector and install it into the larger size connector but it's been so long since I have done it. In some cases I have been able to find the little metal contacts at an electronics store and crimp them on myself.
Since this is not an MSI product and this is an MSI forum, I have moved this topic from the VGA forum to here.
Good luck.

Problem with PM8PM-IL and the CPU fan

Hello everybody i am spanish my apologies for my english xD
I have a motherboard MSI PM8PM-IL (MS-7222), official intel fan with four connectors,the fan support PWM but the motherboard doesnt control the rpm of the fan and I have 3668 rpm 53 °C (127 °F)
From the manual "you must use a specially designed fan with speed sensor to take advantage of the CPU fan control."
In the bios i don't see that option "H/W Monitor This entry shows the status of your CPU, fan, warning for overall system status."
"CPU Smart Fan Temperature"
the manual have photos of this menus but when i enter in the bios i don't see anything of that
msi.com/product/mb/PM8PM-IL--L.html

You appear to have some Beta test version of the 1.2 BIOS.
Try flashing to the last version 1.3:
http://eu.msi.com/product/mb/PM8PM-IL--L.html#/?div=BIOS
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
However, its possible that your board simply doesn't support this feature, and the manual is incorrect.

Asus p5k cpu fan error

I finally installed my new cpu cooler today ( Noctua NH-U9B SE2 ) and went from my old vacuum cleaner fan at 80°C to an ultra quiet 25°C. But when booting up, i get a damn cpu fan error for whatever reason, and i get a few beeps and have to press F1 to continue. Why is that? I connected my new fan to the 3-pin and not the 4-pin, is that the issue? i could try the 4-pin ( the connector head only have 3 holes though ) but i wouldn't wanna risk making my mobo fubar. How do i fix it?

I had the same problem on my ASUS/HP IPIBL-LA motherboard, error 9998. I solved in this way:
1) The Brand BIOS is American Megatrends, so i downloaded their utility AMIBIOS flash utility from here http://www.ami.com/Support/amibiossupport/
2) Then use winrar or a similar program to get only the file 513.ROM from the file sp37377 (that is the BIOS).
3) open the folder amiflash, then AMIBIOS, then AFUwin, select the folder 32 or 64 (depends on your operating system), run the application
4) Click on 'OPEN' in the bottom of the window and select the file '513.ROM'
5) go in setup-CMOS options and select 'Load ROM file's optimal', select also 'restart after programming'
6) close all the running applications and click 'FLASH'
after the restart you have to go in the Bios pressing F10, set the bootable Hard disk, save and restart.

Your Specific ZZXT H440 case has both USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 connectors on the Front Panel.
There are internal headers on the Formosa motherboard to support that functionality.
 
IF you have spare (unused) internal connectors (USB 2.0) , there are third-party brackets to bring that functionality to the rear panel through usage of an expansion slot bracket.
 
I sometimes use those extra USB 2.0 headers/connectors with an appropriate cable for an internal USB stick/dongle (e.g. San Disk Cruzer Fit, 16 GB),
 
So that I may have ready access to key OS or hardware drivers for the computer.

I don't think so.
I have enough experience with LR to know what to expect for various activities.
Previews for all photos had been rendered long before I initiated the Save Metadata.
Metadata for 50 of the 52 files had already been written.
The high cpu had gone on for at least 5 minutes.   I switched to another app imediately after initiating the Save Metadata for the 52 files and only went back to LR when I heard my CPU fan running for a long time.
When I got back to LR, I saw the "Could not save metadata" window. I clicked "Show in Library" and OK. As soon as I did that, CPU usage went back to normal.
I've experienced the exact same scenario, where LR can't save metadata for all photos and I've never had LR get stuck consuming a very large amount of CPU.
As a test, I selected 118 other photos, changed metadata for all of them and then selected all and saved metadata. LR took about 20 seconds to save metadata for all 118 and LR CPU usage never went above 17%. The difference is that LR did not show the "Could not save metadata" window.

Why does fan spin for 1 second only? K7N2GM-1L

Hi Guys,
First post here. I have read all the stickies and FAQs, but I don't seem to have found an answer to my specific problem. If it is here, and I missed it, please just point me to it and accept my apologies ( and thanks) in advance.
I have just put in a K7N2GM-1L for a friend who was struggling. When I hit the case power switch, the CPU fan spins for about 1 second, then stops. Nothing else happens. If I reset the power switch on the PSU (i.e. set from 1 to 0 then back to 1), I can repeat this process - but nothing seems to help get the board to progress onto POST.
I have tried with and without RAM. I have tried removing the power switch cable to the board, and shorting (briefly) with a screwdriver, in case the case switch was bad (same result). I have tried with no IDE drives, all IDE drives, with and without the floppy connected. I have tried the board mounted in the case, and outside the case (on a non-conducting surface) - always the same result.
After a lot of head scratching (I normally consider myself pretty competent inside a PC case, and have installed / upgraded / fixed numerous PCs) I realised I had done something pretty dumb. I had been powering the board with the BIOS reset jumper set in the RESET position. I know, I should have checked first, but I didn't :(
The manual says that this will *damage the board*, but does not give any further details. Does anyone know whether this is the real showstopper, or is it just a generally bad idea and there is still something else that I have not checked?
I see from many other posts that the PSU is pretty critical to these boards. I have tried two separate PSUs - both from known working systems. Specs are below.
Jeantech 400W
+5V = 35A
+3.3V = 28A
+12V1 = 15A
+12V2 = 17A
-5V = 0.3A
-12V = 0.8A
+5V SB = 2A
Jeantech 500W
+5V = 40A
+3.3V = 30A
+12V = 18A
-5V = 0.3A
-12V = 0.8A

Yes, having the cmos clear jumper in the wrong position can damage the motherboard. I don't believe that it is an automatice thing to happen since I have done the same thing a time or two myself without any resulting problems
How many times did you try to start the system with the jumper set wrong? That may give us the answer since multiple tries might have been too much for the motherboard to endure.
Can you try the pieces in another system to verify if they are all good? If they check out, then it is probably time to request an rma on the motherboard.
It would help if you told us what other pieces are in the system: cpu-memory-video card-hard drives-optical drives-pci cards as I are just guessing now.
I'm afraid I probably started the board with the jumper in the wrong position a dozen times or so, while trying various combinations of other possible faults before I realised the jumper setting was wrong :(
The system is essentially bare at the moment - just a floppy, a stick of RAM, CPU (Athlon 1800), onboard graphics, no monitor, no PCI cards.
Just to humour me for a moment..... if we assumed that no damage was done by the CMOS jumper setting, what else might be causing the symptoms described in my post above? Any thoughts?

CPU fan isn't working on Hermes 845GV full and Lite

well
i have here an hermes 845GV and when i switch it on, the cpu fan starts for about half an second and stops then, same problem with the lite version.
so, can this problem be solved or do i have to send it back to msi? (both comps are new)
thx schBORG

it works fine, except the cpu fan isn't working, it only starts for about half a sec when u switch it on, when u connect the cable with the plug for the 2 side fans it works fine, but when the cpu fan isn't working, the cpu gets too hot and the computer crashes, and so the os installation is destroyed, that's the reason why i found that problem

Z77a-g43 cpu fan constantly runs at max speed

I have a Noctua dh14 (without a pwm connector). My old 870a motherboard had a setting which let me pick if the cpu fan should be controlled by voltage or pwm, but I can't seem to find it on my new z77a motherboard. Is there anything I can do about this aside from connecting the fan to some sort of external controller?
I can see the motherboard changing the fans PWM value in hwmonitor, but the rpm remains the same.
Edit: I was able to do it by switching to the system fan connector instead of the cpu fan connector
It would still be nice to know how to adjust the fan speed on the cpu fan connector though.

Put a 4 wire PWM fan on it.
That or connect it to an aftermarket fan controller or a system fan header like was done.
