Steve,

I recently assembled a Celeron 400 (Retail Socket 370 - Intel Cooling Fan).
When plugged into the motherboard (Soyo 6BA+) FAN1 connector, no status of
the fan or CPU were shown in the BIOS.  This system has ran a burn-in
program on and off for about 72 hours.  It appears to have no problrms at
all.
