A friend of mine recently added a new case fan to his dell e510. It isn't being detected so he has to hit F1 everytime he boots. Not a major thing, but annoying. The fan does indeed work, and much better than the one that came with it. Any idea how to make it recognized?

Sorry for the bump, but its been ~ a day. Any idea?

im assuning its 80mm-92mm right. Sounds weird, did he try using speedfan yet?

simply just dont connect it to the mobo jusst connect it to a controller or just have it at full speed if its not a noisy fan

will do. @supersmashbrada whats speedfan?

look up speedfan, its a fan controller program, its free too, search for it at download.com

thanks everyone.
