ATI responded that this was a factory or warranty repair job. Found another fan of the same dimensions, but 12v instead of 5v. Will just connect it to a 12v source and get on with life.
I requested information from Syntax on the location of the heat sensors on the MB and the response from them was "Generally, there are several temperature sensor on the motherboard at various locations but the sensor of main concern is the below the CPU and should be optimally maintained at...
Have an ATI Xpert 2000 Pro Video card - AGP/32MB. There is a fan mounted on a heat sink. This fan is getting loud and I can feel resistance - like a bad bearing when I turn it by hand - the fan also wobbles on the mount. This fan measures 4MMx4MM. Power supply for the fan is off the AGP board...
I took the advice of removing the CPU fan and cleaning the heat sink paste, and reinstalling. Used a smaller amount of heat sink paste - Now the CPU temp is reported at 34-39C in both the Bios and Sandra. The MB Temp and the Aux Temp are now reported at 127C. This is the reading I get with the...
The Chipset is the VIAKT400 and the KT8235(?). The 37-39C comes from the BIOS and is echoed in the MBM software. the 70C comes from a Sensor #1, and I have no idea where it is located. This temp only shows up in MBM. The heatsink/fan is mounted correctly and thermal paste (white) was used. CPU...
Could the sensor that indicates 70C actually be the MB temperature and not the case temperature? or the 70C be the CPU temperature and not the Case temperature? Does 37-39C seem like a reasonable MB or Case temperature? I am guessing the the 37-39C is the CPU as that is what the BIOS indicates...
