CPU Fan Error! Asus Sabertooth z77

[Telemokos]

Just built a new PC with ASUS Sabertooth z77 MB and a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO. Every startup begins with a "CPU Fan Error! Press F1 for Setup". I enter setup and all fans are running normally except the EVO. No matter what, the EVO runs at a constant 600 rpm (minimum rpm the fan can run) regardless of CPU temp. Tech support said "just disable the error message", but that seems like a bad idea. I'd rather my CPU fan actually adjust rpm's according to cpu temp. Any thoughts? And, yes, I have the fan connected correctly to the appropriate header.

I had the same issue with the EVO and decreased the minimum speed to 400. I think it's just taking the fan too long to spool up and it's therefore rejected by the bios. My fan runs fine overall and the CPU is at a cumfy temp.

Keep in mind that the fan is rated at 600RPM minimum +/- 10% so deducting 10% would put it well below the bios default minimum.

You could connect it to a system fan header and set it to run at a high enough RPM for cooling the CPU if it won't work with the CPU fan header.

Sorry to bring this back up but I am having the exact same problem with the same hardware. How do you decrease the minimum speed to 400? I have searched through the bios and have not found that option.
