Default CPU Fan Error!
I just switched over to a P5Q pro last night and it always freezes on boot up with a CPU fan error. I water cool so there is no fan. How the hell do I get rid of that it's driving me nuts! I can't find anywhere in the BIOS to disable it. I did find a spot where I selected "Ignore" for the CPU fan but that didn't fix it.

Last time I had to temporarely connect a fan to the CPU fan header, then the "Disable" choice was available.

As far as I remember,

I went into the BIOS and into the hardware monitor, changed the CPU fan to either disable or ignore (cant recall and at work ATM, so I'll post what it is after)

Dont recall if the P5Q Pro has the "ExpressGate" mini os option, but might as well disable that also unless you're planning on using it (In the OC pannel)

I just plugged a random fan into it so it wouldn't beep at me , getting into the BIOS and disabling it would work too.
