This SHOULD NOT be the case. Precisely because of the issue you've outlined below: > [...] due to the fact of the actual physical fan inertia (for a lack of > better word), the fan does *not* start. All fans SHOULD spin at some low rate to make the system work. Alternatively, the BIOS may provide a kickstart, when there's rise of temperature over certain threshold, like you did in your script. I suggest you raise this issue with your board manufacturer. P.S.
