Hello, I recently built my very first gaming PC and everything came out good except for the CPU Cooler . . When I first turned on the PC it wouldn't let me go on my desktop, because I was getting an CPU Fan error, so I went on the BIOS settings and changed the CPU Fan to "Ignore". After that I was able to go on the desktop. I decided to install Corsair Link to check the CPU temperature, but then I realized I wasn't getting any readings from the CPU fan . . and I also did notice on the BIOS settings that I am also not getting any readings from the CPU fan. Everything is looking good, fans are working, everythings working. I just don't know why I am not getting any readings, it's like It doesn't even exist. Keep in mind that this is the 2nd CPU cooler that I buy, I did call Corsair asking about this and they just sent me a new one because I thought the first one was broken, but it actually wasn't because I am still not getting any readings from any CPU fan. I also have an Hyper 212 EVO and that one seems to be working fine, my motherboard is also able to recognize it easily. Will someone please help me with this? Been doing research now for 3 days and I can't seem to come up with any solution / answer to the problem.

This is my build : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/xCs3D3

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: There is also this SENSOR 1 Temperature that's been bothering me too, it looks pretty high should I be worried about this? What is SENSOR 1 anyways?

Here are some pictures for you to be able to understand the problem easily :

Sorry If I'm asking too much, I'm just so confused.

Are all of your cables attached properly? I was just looking into this cooler when I came across a video that mentioned it has a 3-pin connector in addition to the sata so that your cpu doesn't go crazy. Here's the video, skip to 5:40 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hH5H0tfMSI

Later in the video he also does a full installation, although it's not the best with camera angles.
