Anybody else out there that can here the fan speed change depending on the cpu load? Doesn't seem to make any difference when I fire up my cdroms but I have one fan that I can atualy here slow down when my cpu usage goes up. Tyan 510 motherboard wP4-1.8 @ 2.08 Three standard fans like the ones you'ld find in psu's
 
is the system stable?, if yes see A, if not see B

A-don't worry about it:D

B-try a different psu, I had a 350w enermax, which I though it was not enought and I switch to a 400w sparkle and didn't saw a difference, I think the most important thing about psu is how are the rails lines, I mod my psu to have load 12.60v, 5.30v, and 3.50v, thats what matters:D

Doesn't sound like a psu issue to me. Of course, the brand of psu you use is important for the quality of power, if you are wondering.
 
was over at a friends who just built a plexi glass see throughcomputer ..it really looks good but with a cheap power supply i noticed the same thing it was changing speeds as you stressed the system...believe me this board isn;t high tech enough to be doing any monitoring its just runnin out of juice due to fans fans fans and cool lights................it;s a pretty 1.7 cellyon a nasty lil ecs el cheapo board....i like nunez;s advice if it doesn;t crash you it ain;t broke but if you upgrade do the p.supply
