I've just built a new system with a Gigabyte GA-7N400Pro2 motherboard.

with

this motherboard, I am talking about the fan which has "Gigabyte 8X
AGP"
written on it and connects to the NB_FAN connector on the motherboard.

If you lurk around the gigabyte newsgroups, you'll find this is quite a
common problem (basically the fan is a piece of junk). I run a GA-81HXP
without any fan (fan removed, heatsink left in place) no problem -
system temp 36c.

So basically the consensus is that it does not matter running the computer
without that fan working? My system temperature is also around 36c, but I
didn't know where the system temp sensor is compared to that chip. I want to
be able to leave this computer on 24 hours sometimes, and the main thing I
was afraid off is that chip burning up because the fan doesn't work.
