HELP!!! Fanless Heatsinks

I have a problem while building the new setup last night on boot the system tells me that not CPU fan is detected and as a result wont boot. I got round this by setting the bios to ignore all errors as the CPU only runs at 35C. However I don't think it is a good idea to keep it ignoring all errors.

Does anyone know a way i can tell the system its using a fanless heatsink and there for no CPU fan should be plugged in.

I have a option in my bios to monitor/not monitor fans so I just unchecked CPU fan.

thats pretty much a fail safe for your motherboard, atleast you know your BIOS is doing its job!!! fanless heatsink? wow, thats odd. but ok. all you need to do is jump the cpu fan connector on the mobo or you could plug a fan into that slot and mount it in the case. im surprised there werent instructions on how to set that up in the box. i would certainly get that error detection turned back on asap tho.

yeah ill check in to that tonight could not see an option for it last night but i was tired as hell ill see how i get on tonight after i have sorted all the cables out so its uber neat.

:O
Whats ur system, coincidently i built a new system too.

I see, an Intel i7 920, Corsair PSU 850W, 6GB RAM.

That just popped into my head for soem reason

a fanless heatsink? wtf havent heard of that on a CPU before what type of CPU did you get and is that the only CPU cooling?

pics of the inside of my new setup.

i think i went a bit ott on the cabling

@pern its:

Intel Core i7 920 D0 2.66GHz Socket 1366 8MB Cache

XIGMATEK Thors Hammer Socket 1366 775 AM2 754 939 940 Heatpipe CPU Cooler

Corsair 850W HX Modular PSU

Foxconn Bloodrage iX58 Socket 1366 Sonar X-FI Audio ATX Motherboard

OCZ 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 1600MHz Triple Channel Memory Kit for i7 Motherboards

Then it has the old HHD's and 9500gt GPU ill be changing the gpu in the next month or so for a gtx275 as they are pretty cheap and will be great until the dx 11 cards arrive

Is that the motherboarsd you can overclock on the fly?

not sure tbh

maybe.

I got the i7, 6g ram, asus gene 2 mobo, and 2 295gtx's.
I wouldnt upgrade without going all out on video myself, crysis at full high def + 16 AA and AF is drools.
Oh and a antec performance one 193 case + 1000w psu.

At the mo i got the cpu overlocked to 3.2g using the mobo cpu level up feature. Might overclock more lata on.
Oh and a zalman 9900 led fan/heatsink, looks phat and will do the job no worries.

From what I have read most i7 920's can do 3.8-4.0 fairly easy on air, I'm currently building one too!
