I built a PC (specs below), but when it starts up I get an error that says my CPU has overheated and a high-pitched siren incessantly rings. When I checked the temperature of my CPU, it ranged between 35 deg Celsius when idle and 45 deg Celsius at load. My theory is that the siren is the CPU's stock fan alarm (that goes off when the fan isn't detected).
Is there a way to turn off the alarm in the BIOS? Also, do you think the overheating error message that I received is because the system didn't detect the stock fan?
I guess if I fix the siren and the PC recognizes the stock fan, the overheating message will go away.
However, I the reviews for my PSU said that the siren was its fault...
