You can cut off the pin (2nd from the top) that should be missing (becareful, measure twice and cut once), or push out the plug from the connector from the back. Just make sure you have the connector oriented correctly with the empty slot 2nd from the top.

Yes, I noticed the same thing with my new MX212 (Rev 1.6) compared to my old MX212 (Rev 1.4) that is several years old.

You might want to let the Motherboard control the CPU fan depending on the cost of your CPU. I have been using a MX212 to control the CPU fan in my old computer, using the CPU temperature from Motherboard Monitor to control the fan speed, and have not had any problems. In my new computer I have a AM...

Hi Raquel, I did not see any problems with my setup. The only explaination is that the fan must of shorted out. It was a new fan and I had tested in on a spare power supply, but stranger things have probably happened. I have the new display installed and will have all new fans later this week. I wil...

Well I smoked the same chip that is pictured in this following post: http://www.lcdforums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2977 I have a new MX212 (LK202-24-USB Rev 1.6) and had been running it with four temp probs and internal USB and floppy power cables. Everything was working just fine until I hooked u...

There is a command to set the power-up PWM level or each fan. The details should be in the past threads somewhere and in the MX2/4 manual.

I don't think that version supports fans and temperature probes. You need to have a PCB that looks like the one in this manual http://www.matrixorbital.com/manuals/LK ... USB_02.pdf.

Yes, the LEDs on my fans are lit at a very low setting.

I am not familiar with AMD CPUs. Everything in life is a compromise. The temperature probes used by the MX2 are more accurate, but they will not fit in tight places. MotherBoard Monitor does allow you to adjust the temperature values returned from the motherboard if they need to be tweaked. I have h...

I am using Cooler Master LED fans and the LED intensity seams to vary somewhat closely with the speed of the fan. My top fan is usually at 0% and I the LED is not lit at that setting.

You should be using your motherboard's temperature sensing capability for the CPU temperature. The MotherBoard Monitor plug-in will provide this data to LCDC in order to display on the MX2 and control fans.

The MX2 does not vary the voltage in order to control the fans; it uses Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). In other words, the 12V power is turned on and off at a given frequency so that it is on a certain percentage of the time from 0% to 100%. This is the same type of fan control you would typically se...

I do not use the keypad much, except to stop the display from cycling between different screens and to switch between screens when not cycling. I have three basic screens 1. CPU and memory statistics, 2. CPU and case temperatures with associated fan power levels and 3. CPU, case, motherboard and GPU...

If you are using the LCDC GPO PWM/RPM control, you just enter a Mimimun PWM value greater than zero on the Configuration screen and it will not go below that value while LCDC is running. You should enter a non-zero Start/Stop setting and power-up value for the CPU fan. I use 25% for Minimum PWM and ...

LCDC has a button to set the boot screen. See the last post in:
