slackware - The fan won't slow down on my Dell Optiplex 760


I have a new Optiplex 760 running Slackware v13 (x64). The power supply fan comes full on when I turn on the box and never slows down. I'm expect it to slow down after it senses the load/heat, but it never does.


This PC runs the latest Intel chipset (1Ch10).


I've loaded the kubuntu 9.04 live cd and had the same problem. Could there be a bad sensor some where or do I have a config problem.

I've got good news and bad news... The good news is you're not the only person having problems with Dell PSU fans and THERE IS A FIX. We recently purchased a few dozen Dell 760s and three of them had loud (high RPM) PSU fans. The bad news is Dell had to send a tech to replace all the PSUs with this problem.


I hope this helps!
