Basically, I just built my very first gaming-PC. I got it to start and it works fine it seems.

I was getting this error message saying "CPU fan error!", I read some about it and someone suggested turning the lowest CPU fan RPM limit down, which I did (from 600 to 300). The error message disappeared, yet the temperatures and RPM are the same. Both before and after turning the RPM down, the temps stay at 30-32 °C and the RPM at 550-600. Is it too hot, and is it anything to worry about? Remember this is in BIOS, and i intend to play games such as Battlefield 4.
