What happens if my 92mm vid card cooler aftermarket fan is turned OFF, by mistake? (that is possible)
I am not sure what the latest BIOS or software from Asus is capable of. Also I do not know what hardware or software or OS or combination takes care of overheating. My last mobo I was content to disable a lot of BIOS features or just not install their software. I am not planninf on using speedfan or the asus stuff. I was using mbm5 but its not for Vista HP 32.
However I am concerned about overheating with this build. I understand my E6750 cpu has a built in temp sensor, and my newest vid card, Evga 8800GT 512 also does. I am building these into t a new pooter as we speak. My last build I think I disabled a lot of stuff in the Asus P4C800E-D mobo BIOS P4 2.6C which may have been siomilar to but may not responsible for the overall safety of the cpu -is this function "optional" for a cpu i.e. defeatable via setting(s) & where? - but particularly I am concerned with my vid card for this ngQ.
I have had good cooling before, and other than a hardware( ie fan) failure I was never concerned about dangerously high temps. This time, for my first time, however I installed an aftermarket vid cooler a TR HR-03 GT. I unplugged the stock fan and I have a Artic-Cooling 92 fan for the HR-03 GT. The 92 fan gets power for a 3-pin to a Vantec knob, which gets all power form a 4-pin molex.
I have the A-C 92mm plugged into a Vantec fan & light controller, which goes down to zero volts (off), not 5 or 7V as some do. For the cpu I am using a fanmate, which goes down to 5V but not off. So what happens if I forget or somehow turn the vid card fan speed down to off? Is there any protection, like a total shut down or anything.
The evga 8800GT 512 SC is 650/1622/1900 I think so its got decent specs and I'm not sure if I need rivatuner or for that matter forceware - anyhting other than what is on the supplied disks, or the latest web version.
