i am experiencing a problem where my mobo can only sometimes detects fan speed of the 12cm fan at 1300-1500rpm. most of the times it detects 0rpm. why is that? when i use the original intel stock cooler i have has no problem like this. seller said that its normal for fans like these to report 0rpm. anyone experiencing the same problem?
