Ok, I installed this silent package dealy (MB, CPU fan, box fan), it's alright, it is quieter, and was on the cheap. Anyhoo, everytime it boots up, my box thinks that the CPU fan isn't running!! but it is! ARGH! Is there some setting i have to check in the bios or something?
TIA

is it plugged into your mobo in the "CPU FAN" connector?
You could try a firmware upgrade on the board. it's just that stuff like that tends to give me the screaming heebie jeebies. my theory is that if it works even if it cascades errors its better than trying something you aren't sure will work.

the whole thought may be off topic or irrelevant.

To the first point, yeah, firmware updates, BIOS flashing and whatnot is pretty damn freaky.. So I think I"ll just deal with having to press N when it boots up. And to the second point we were discussnig the dewpoint in the 1800's around the more industrial parts of Topeka and it's effect on the south bumpity skinned toad's ideal micro climate.
electricity, by nature, requires 2 wires
i bet the way it knows is because you're not pulling as much voltage as it thinks you oughta, see how many volts your old fan used, vs the new one, and you might be able to jury rig a resistor to fool it

WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA SLOW DOWN THERE EINSTEIN!!
'voltage'?!?! 'resistor"?!?! 'electricity'?!?! that zooming sound is your post going over my head poet boy!
Get wire. Get another wire. Stick both of 'em in the outlet and touch the metaly bits. The awesome feeling you feel now is RAW POWER, a.k.a. electricity, coursing through your body.
