Abit NF7 - I don't usually turn off/reboot my machine (maybe once or twice a week) but this last time I recycled it, after it came on (it was off for about a couple minutes)... the small mobo fan started making inconsistent/random bearing noises. It will stay quiet/normal for a few minutes, then start up again. I notice it's also spinning much slower than my CPU fan (not sure how fast it used to spin)... are these common signs that the fan is going bad ? Or is it just that it's trying to catch up to speed and spins awkwardly... I've had it for almost a year I suppose...
Also, will this harm the mobo in any way if the fan hardly spins ? The sys temp is reading at 29C (cpu: 49C). If it matters, it's a Barton 3200+.
