i have a 4months old cpu liquid cooler" Deepcool Gamer Storm Maelstrom 120T AIO Liquid Cooler"

i have shutdown my pc last night and in the early morning i turned my pc on and it showed me cpu fan speed error and make sure properly installed to cpu_fan and disable the cpu low limit speed in uefi bios. f1 to continue.

some error msgs shown like that and i started googling and found few solutions to set the cpu fan speed to IGNORE in qfan controller in bios and set all the optional fans speeds to ignore and then my pc turned on and thought its all fine but in my AI Suite CPU HEART (cpu fan) is not running. its literally looks like dead but the breathing light is working and all the connections are fine. temperature went to 85c. i have also reset the bios to its default settings but still no success. what should i do now ?

my pc config:
asus z170 ranger viii maximus motherboard
6700k i7 processor (i never overclocked my pc)
corsair vengeance 2300mhz 8gb ram
Deepcool Gamer Storm Maelstrom 120T AIO Liquid Cooler

I would suggest trying another fan, and try to not run your PC until you do (Might cause lasting damage if it gets too hot). Chances are, the fan is dead, but not the LEDs, which is why the lights still work.

i uninstalled the cooler and reinstalled it and it still didnt worked. so i went to bios and trying to snap a pic that cpu fan is dead and then magic, fan started running with no explanations. damn it worked.
no loose connections but something else kept the fan dead. anyway it solved automatically
