Hey

I have just finished putting my system together and installing windows, however when I try and boot to windows a get this message

"CPU FAN ERROR"

I have a NZXT KRAKEN X61 all in one water cooling unit plugged in "http://www.overclockers.co.uk/search_results.php?keywords=AIO&_=1443365987133" so why am I getting this message?

It means the mb could not detect that the fan is working. Is it? If you press F1 will the computer boot up? If things seem to be working okay and your CPU temps are OK, you might try the BIOS settings that (1) ignore the fan check and continue with the boot-up, and/or (2) try setting a low speed limit for the fan to something like 200 rpm.
