I have used the fan controller board for many months now. The hijack settings are such that the fan should come on everytime and the fan used allows me to hear it working when it is on. There is definitely a problem in that (what seems to be randomly) the hijack "fan control error" will show up and the fan will not cut on. I have to reboot a few times until the fan runs. Mlord: Please check that "Random bits at power up" problem you are mentioning. maybe delay that reading or something. (heh: i couldn't program a phone number)
