despite my system throwing out a warning about low chip fan speed, my system hasnt reset yet - but that may be due to the fact that I have one 80 mm intake in the front of my case (a coolermaster centurion with a full mesh front face), one 80 mm out back, 2 fans in my thermaltake PS, and an 80 mm out the side. In other words, my system has sick airflow… the chip fan may not be a huge issue if you’ve got good airflow in your case as well… ---

i called ASUS and they are sending me a chip fan for free once i can give them a Serial Number (which i cant find cuase i threw out the box) so ya once i find it on the board and give em it, they will send me a new one for free. ---

no fucking way. thats ghey. i always thought asus had good support - WTF. they should bare min send u a replacement fan and maybe an rma/call tag on the defective chipfan. if they were willing to stand behind their product, they would send you a new board and rma/call tag yours with a bad fan. thanks for continuing to update on the situation… ---

ASUS hooked me up… have them send you a MOBO and when you get it you will send them yours in their box. BTW - “Originally Posted by toda party No one, even our own beloved EMX has any real idea WTF went on w/ the whole Howie banning situation anyway. I think the only 3 people that REALLY know what happened are Me, Howie, and Huk. Thanks to idiot EMX taking mods only screen shots and showing everyone, people formed their own opinions from an INCOMPLETE thread and an AIM convo” HAHAHAHAH :tup: That was sweet. ---
