Question System Fan: FAULT ?

Post image

Is it normal that "watch -n 2 sensors" shows a fault on the fan?

Could someone else run the watch command on their Steam Machine and let me know if they get the same thing?

Physically, it is spinning, but there is a faint static sound (almost resistor buzz like sound).

fan1: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM, max = 4900 RPM)

Its the same for me. Steam overlay in game shows actual fan speeds
