i have an asus p5n-sli-e. the fan is plugged into my motherboard by the 'cpu' power socket (4 pin, not molex).
the cpu power socket it plugs into works - as i was running another cpu fan on it just fine, and ocassionally it will spin up for a few seconds but never any longer.
cant use this pc very much as obviously the cpu overheats which crashes the pc.
So... when you were using the other CPU fan, it worked as it was supposed to and the CPU didn't overheat?
And this issue only happens with the Arctic Cooler Freezer 7 Pro? Replace it. Send it back for another. If the board power pinout works with a different fan, then there is nothing wrong with the board.
