faulty mobo or what? oO

[ndig0]

hello, I'm having an issue with my new motherboard (ASUS M5A97 EVO R2).
there are several things that are bothering me:
1. motherboard refuses to read RPM's of Corsair SP 120 fans but it reads RPM from the CM hyper 212 evo stock fan. I tested fans on other motherboard and they were working motherboard was showing RPMs.

2. my PC refuses to start up from the hybernate. I have to reboot the system by unplugging power and starting it again - after what I get "resuming windows" messege.

so the question is - is it a faulty motherboard?


my specs:
Mobo -ASUS M5A97 EVO R2
CPU - AMD Phenom II x4 965
RAM - Crucial Ballistix 8GB (single stick)
PSU - Lepa G-series 750w
HDD - Samsung Spinpoint F3
Graphics - Radeon 7870 club 3D Joker card

First question would be,

Do you have the latest BIOS for your motherboard?

First question would be,

Do you have the latest BIOS for your motherboard?

I believe the latest is 1708, also grab the latest chipset drivers.

Have you tried putting the Corsair fan on the hyper 212 and connecting it to the CPU_FAN?

yes I updated the bios to the latest version - because that was my first guess. and I updated the all drivers.
the fan is on the CM 212 evo .. ir gets no read neither from system fan pins nor cpu pins. and I have to put ignore on the fan monitor in the bios to boot the system. else I get "cpu fan error"

What about resetting your motherboard settings back to default?

tried that .. still no corsair fan readings and not waking up from hybernate..
might it be the PSU fault? - the problem with hybernate
