It seems like a number of people are having the issue since 6.4 who hadn't before. I know historically there have been issues with 6.x and fans from legecy boxes, but I've never had that problem until now. I also didn't see any good solution...did I miss something? Also, everyone else seems to have the error on their CPU fan. Mine is on the case fan. Strange!

Thanks.

RE: I also didn't see any good solution...did I miss something?
Answer: If you did, then so did I. I think our only course of action at this point is to just wait for the next update to be coded / tested and released. I've see a few suggestions here and there. Unfortunately, none of them have worked for me :manfrustrated:
