looking to disable cpu fan but mobo keeps giving me warnings
I have a HTPC which includes an ASUS mobo/cpu combo (fanless, smart BIOS, etc). The case is mini ITX with a single case fan. As it is this machine runs really cool since I have no moving parts other than the storage HDD (OS is on SDD).
What I ended up doing was move the case fan power plug to the "Chassis1" fan header on the mobo because the BIOS offers more tunability controls for chassis fans than it does the "CPU" fan header.
Problem is now, I get popup alerts in my sys tray from the BIOS manager that CPU FAN IS DISABLED or NOT OPERATING.
Is there a way I can jumper this power header out with a resistor or something to fake the mobo into thinking it's driving a fan?
What value resistor should I use? or is this not recommended?
Eventually I'd like to disable all the fans because I dont think this HTPC runs very warm at all.
