I just managed to install my gigabyte gtx 760 onto my z87 sabertooth motherboard today and managed to start things up, with picture and everything. However, I then get a cpu fan error (cooler master hyper 212 evo, single stock fan, cooling a 4670k not overclocked, all powered by a corsair ax 760 psu) upon starting up. It tells me to press f1 to do fan setup, and from there i am directed to the bios. From there I see my fan steadily drop every few seconds from the initial 700 rpm or so on start up to below 600 rpm (which appears to be what the alert message was set to) and steadily falling. I shut it down before it dropped too much more
Before I put in my gpu everything was going perfectly, the cpu fan was idling at around 600-700 rpm. I checked the connections, they are all in there, including both the psu connectors. The screen is plugged into the dvi slot. I did get a speaker beep of 1 long and 3 short, which points to gpu issues, but other than that fan error it starts up fine.
It should be noted that I had trouble getting it into the pci slot. It just wouldnt slide in easily, and the screw holes didnt line up with the case brackets at first. Finally I had to screw it in slightly, get the card all the way in, then finish screwing. However it appears to be working fine so I'm not sure if this is the issue.
Any suggestions?
**Slight update, it appears that it stopped dropping around 570-590 rpm, i just got paranoid and turned things off prematurely. It has even climbed back up about 10 rpm. However I am still a bit confused as to why it was doing this in the first place. And ironically temperatures don't seem to have changed much despite the lower rpm. Was it possible that the gpu was drawing more power and so the fan didn't spin up so quickly which scared the BIOS? Also, the BIOS is up to date (last I checked was a little over a week ago), so i doubt that's the problem
I also just noticed a red led that is hovering over what I believe to be the boot device led. However, everything seems to be still going fine, I've been sitting in BIOS for the last 10 minutes, cpu temperatures are normal in the low 30s.
