Re: P5W DH Deluxe fan error on post

I have a new P5W DH Deluxe with an E6600 Core2 Duo. I am using the Arctic Cooler Freezer 7 PRO to cool the CPU. Sometimes when I start the computer I get a warning at or around the POST that says the CPU Fan had an error and to press F1 to continue, which I do. This fan likes to run at around 700+ RPM when the Q-fan is in the optimum setting. Is there a way to control the fan speed besides choosing performance as a setting? Can I change the warning in the BIOS to trigger lower? My CPU runs below 30C at idle with 750RPM on the CPU fan.

Thanks,

I have the same problem on an A8R-MVP with the standard CPU fan that came with the AMD processor. I'm guessing that the fan doesn't start before the BIOS checks it on a cold start and QFan is too dumb to realize that. Never have the problem on a restart.
