Is it possible to fry a fan header? I was running Speed Fan to keep my CPU Fan noise down, and after a couple of days, the fan just shut off. After a quick inspection, and plugging the fan into a new header the fan spins up and works great. I was wonderning if anyone else has had this problem with their Mobo, or Speed Fan.

I would replace that fan before you burn out the second header!

The orginal fan was stock with the Heatsink, Thermaltake Volcano 11. It uses a Thermaltake smartfan, which requires a fair amount of voltage, could a lot of changes in the fan speed affect the header?

A bunch of stuff could cause this. I'd take good advice and replace the fan first...that'll eliminate a shaky fan and a bad connection at one shot.
