Okay so this should be quick. I recently just purchased a PWM fan extension (because my motherboard does not have that many pwm ports available so I am using the extender which is being powered by a SATA cable and is also plugged in to ONE working CPU FAN port on the motherboard. Let me just quickly explain what happened. I hav e a corsair H100i Hydro cpu cooler and I am currently doing a push pull system with 4 (2 on top and 2 on bottom) corsair high performance static pressure fans, Everything is installed properly but I get that error message on start up. I plugged all 4 fans in the PWM 8 port extender, could that be the reason? If so that's kind of ridiculous. I checked the BIOS and nothing is of use. Can I just keep pressing f1 to go into BIOS, exiting, and carrying on with my normal routine? Or will eventually something bad happen, or malfunction?
