There is a CPU fan error but the fan is still spinning.. PLEASE HELP

(This is a repost please delete the other one if you want)

On the POST screen when I first turn it on it say that there is an error, yet the fans still spin and the temps in the BIOs say the CPU is at 4.0 GHz at like 30-33 degrees Celsius. I have the CRYORIG H7 cooler, and a Phanteks Enthoo Pro with the fan hub hooked up to the ASUS Maximus VIII Hero mobo. It casuses me to have to go into the BIOs and manually boot my computer whenever there is a restart because I am currently installing drivers and things like that.

Do you have the cooler's fan connected to the CPU FAN header?

broidk · Dec 21, 2015

It's currently in CPU_OPT and the hub for my case fans is plugged into CPU_FAN. I had the CPU cooler plugged into the CPU_FAN and it gave me the same error message

The CPU FAN header needs to see tach feedback from a PWM fan motor. Put your cooler's FAN on that header. The OPT header can be used for anything.

Ok, well I am checking for windows updates at the moment. Is it alright if I do it later or is it vital?

As long as temps are good, no hurry.

Ok well the updates are installing so it may be awhile before I can actually change it. When I do change it, if it gives me the same error is there anything else I can do or should I just come back on here and post that it did it again.

If it still does it when the cooler's fan is plugged into the CPU FAN header, try this... temporarily connect it back to a different header. Then temporarily plug your old stock cooler's fan back in the CPU FAN header. You can just set the stock cooler off to the side somewhere for now. We just want to see if the issue is in the board's BIOS or if it is the new cooler fan's wiring. Start up the system and see if the warning is still there.

It's fixed now haha and I didn't get a stock cooler because it's the 6700K which to intel is technically the "Enthusiast" chip and it would be a waste to include a cooler because most people would be getting an after market cooler anyways.

What was the fix?

broidk · Dec 22, 2015

I switched the CPU fan and the Fan hub's places and it just booted straight up without the error lol. I was freaked because I had it in the position that it's in now in the first place and it still gave me the error. Now it doesn't xD
