CPU Fan Error

Mr. Koaliti · Apr 23, 2014

Whenever I boot my computer I see a message at the bottom that says 'CPU Fan Error!'.
But when I open my case and boot my computer it seems to run fine. I also have had no problems with my CPU. should I just brush it off or should I be worried?
Thanks for the help!

Go into the bios and lower the lower RPM limit for your CPU fan. A lot of the cpu fans are temperature controlled and start up at a speed lower than what the bios likes.

Are you sure it's not "CPU OPT fan error"? That means there is no fan in the CPU OPT slot. It's also possible you've accidentally connected the CPU fan to the OPT fan header or to one of the chassis fan headers.

I tried that and it is still giving me the message.

Eduello :

No, it is in the correct slot. I checked before putting it in. there are two slots for a CPU fan and I put it in the first slot. And since I have a sabertooth 990fx I have a UEFI, I can see that it is in a CPU slot.

Is the message from Asus AI suite? My motherboard alerts me as well if the OPT fan is not connected...

Can you post a screenshot of the warning?

Eduello :

Is there a way for me to take a screenshot on boot?

ahnilated · Apr 23, 2014

Mr. Koaliti :

Sure, if you have a cellphone with a camera.

Eduello :

I am not sure how to add the screenshot to my answer, it is not working

Mr. Koaliti :

As anhilated said, you'd need to take the picture with a camera, sorry for the confusion.
