Rick,
Believe you could be close. But, Intel has very good install and
removal/reset instructions in the booklet that comes with the retail
E8400's. And, Asus duplicates thes instructions in the m/b UM. Still,
these default hs/fans from Intel are quite odd to install. I will double
check the hs/fan on the system that does not work; after I find a case to
put it back into.
Just now I am finishing up my upgrades to XP. I have completed my last
client. But I have only managed to get the system to SP2. I do not have
enough space on the hd to finish the upgrade to SP3. I am digging around
in the file stack looking for stuff to delete w/o killing the system. The
defrag color bar looks like both the old W2K system and the new XP system
are present separately.
I thought that XP would stitch itself into the W2K file system and
upgrade/install/remove what was no longer needed. Does not look like this,
however............... :(
Merry Christmas!

To reset a soc 775 CPU fan, you REALLY need the factory instructions.
Both for proper removal and to "pre-set" the pins to properly try again.
The friend I mentioned broke his fan mounting and I had to get a replacement
fan (a heat pipe type third party) shipped in.
He was lucky to have an MB where thermal protection was the default setting in
the BIOS or he might have damaged the CPU.
I have the retail boxed instructions for an E8500 if you need them scanned
and e-mailed.
(It would be faster and easier if Intel had them somewhere on their WEB site.)

Merry Christmas! Rick,
Yes, I do plan to check the hs/fan combo first. I did have trouble
getting it to "click" on to the m/b. I do suspect this even though the
fan spins at power on (as does the chassis fan). I will start a debug
session in a day or so.
The final set of new parts are mounted and running well ATM in the guest
BR! So, I am 2 out of 3 ATM. Yes, I suppose that the I-775 socket can be
troublesome. Each time I mounted a cpu I sat and wondered about the
manufacturing process that made a socket so small that has 775 small pins
in it. That is some precision.....still amazed....... :)
Best of the Season!

The E8400 is a socket 775.
Check the CPU heatsink.
That is a poor design, and I patched up friends box when the fan fell off,
(or got a little loose).
