biostar tforce 6100 939 mATX

i posted this in the amd mobos forum, but this one seems to get more activity.

hey, i just built my new sff. it posts fine and goes into DSL fine. so my problem here is the cpu heatsink/fan. Now when i plug it into the fan header thats specified for the heatsink/fan it wont spin up on system boot. In the bios it even shows as spinning 0 rpm. But when i plug it into another fan header port thing near the graphics i believe it is, it spins up fine. But it still shows as 0 rpm in the bios. Im just wondering, anyway to fix this or is rma/return my only hope?

im thinking that this will hinder my ability to run windows, since its showing as 0 rpm in the bios. any help is apreciated, thanks.

The header might be bad. Does it ever turn on running in the CPU header? If it does turn on eventually, it might just be Cool N Quiet keeping the fan off until it heats up.

If it bothers you, you probably are going to have to RMA the board.

well, i already tryed turning cool n quiet off, i dont have my hard drive yet, but i guess i could plug it into that slot and run like damn small linux to get the cpu temp up to see if it kicks in?
