Fans not starting at PC boot
Posted: Mon Mar 22, 2004 8:12 am
hi everyone
i'm thinking about buying a MX2/4 display and i started looking at this forum. i've read a couple of threads about fans not starting at pc boot, but only at LCDC start. it seems that this problem can be fixed with some solder work. in all threads the fans were described as "connected to GPOs" and not to fan plugs.
well, my question is: this problem only applies to fans connected to GPOs or to every connected fan? there are 4 fan plugs and that's enough for me, i don't neet to use more than 4 plugs, so i will not use GPOs to control fans.
i'm not going to do any solder work and i need to control my cpu fan, so you can understand how this question is important to me...
thank you in advance
ps sorry for my english... its not my mothertongue
