auxiliary fan not working

[JHans18]

I have an older model desk top with an Intel motherboard DP965LT. I booted up my system this morning and got a message "Auxiliary Fan (0 RPM) slowed or stopped". I rebooted the system to make sure the fan was still not working, which it is not. My question, is this issue fixable, as in can the fan be replaced or does the motherboard need to be replaced or ...? Is cleaning the fan/motherboard an option?

Any thoughts to my dilemma are appreciated.

TIA ... John

Thanks Ivan, that helped. I did do some vacuuming and that helped a bit too. I suppose I'll see about getting the fan replaced.

Again, thank you.

Cheers ... John
