ASUS A8N-SLI Chipset Fan Failure
After several months languishing in my loft I decided to see if it my PC was still working.
After power up I get the following warning: *** Warning:Your Computer CHIP Fan Fail or speed too low*** You can also disable this warning message in SETUP When I checked the fan wasn't moving. I have tried to clear away the dust but no joy and it feels stiff if I try to move the blades.Can I lubricate in which case how? If I disable the warning in SETUP I can use the PC, but can I continue to use the PC without doing any damage at least until I decide what to do. I believe that replacing the fan isn't too onerous, if one is careful, and would welcome any advice on how to do that. Is there an alternative to replacing the fan?? Thanks |

Don't know how to include an image off my hard drive so hope it's OK to post the following image I found.

Replacement fan;
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ASUS-A8-N-A8...044#vi-content Above is a kit that replaces the fan itself inside the case. Looks like it is sealed as MaDef indicated, pretty easy to replace. Shop around, also found on Amazon |

Thanks Murf
Both sites are USA based but the Ebay one delivers to the UK so have ordered the kit. Long time since we exchanged posts, glad to see you are still helping thick people like me!!! |
