GPU's fan

[xwarriorx]

if that's supposed to be working all the time? i mean when system/windows starts up and all?

it should run all the time, when the GPU is not bieng taxed (at idle( it usaully will run at a diminished capacity like 4-20%, but yes it should always be running.

well,it's not running.it's probably been like that since 2-3rd week of me getting a grip on the computer.

i've been advised to go for manual gpu's speed control through CCC,which i did.i increased it up to 100%.problem is there'isnt any response reaction from gpu's fan.it seems to be dead a bit...

gpu fan's display in CCC isn't showing any numbers or % as well.

check the 2 pin fan power connector on the card and make sure its seated all the way

well,the problem is that there's only 6 pin connector on the gpu(hd 4850).psu supplies with different cords.there are 2's 6 pin connectors,one of them has 2 pin connector attached but theres'int any slot for 2pin connector on the gpu.i'm just wondering if this video card supposed to have 2 pin slot anyway?

there are 6 pin connectors, and 6+2 pin connectors. the 6+2 are for cards that need an 8 pin power connector. its in two pieces for flexibility. all you have to do is plug in the 6 pin plug portion on the 4850

the 6+2 are for cards like this that need 8 pin power connector

this is the 2 pin fan connection i was saying to check, see the two wire lead from the GPU fan that plugs into the PCB?
