I got a ASUS M3N72-D SLI. I never went into BIOS or anything.... Here's two pictures of my BIOS.. See if somethings wrong...

Some BIOSs have options like that as a sort of fail safe in case something goes wrong and a fan or something dies on you. ------------------------- Containment Breach Do not meddle in the affairs of archers, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

This is what I was thinking also. My kids computer is very sensitive to voltage input on the CPU fan, and dropping it much will result in the fan stopping then starting almost at random. I would suggest using the PWM control and then adjusting voltage to get the right kind of temperature/cooling balance you are looking for.
