Sounds like it's running faster than it can handle. That would only be the case if there is some bigger fault at play, such as having a 5V fan wired to 12V. I'm not aware of any PC-grade fan that would be capable of running beyond its design limits in normal use. More likely is that the fan is thermally controlled, but on halt the control is being set to full speed which might be annoying but is not a problem for the fan per se. I suspect that you're just not accustomed to hearing the fan run at full speed. Some can be very noisy, not to mention irritating - like the one in my laptop.

Possible hardware damaging bug with halt/reboot!
I think this thing could break my fan if I left it running. The fan gets fast, really fast. Sounds like it's running faster than it can handle. This is using the halt command, during the message that say's, HALTED, PRESS ANY KEY TO REBOOT. (not actual message) I am still looking in the source code hunting for this. I decided it was best to report now. I have not seen the loop, but adding sleep(1) in the halt loop, such as a while loop, I think that would make it easier on the cpu. However I do not know how it works, because I have not seen that source code. In Love in Jesus Christ, Or Lord and Savior. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only *begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. --John 3:16 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
