CPU Fan Error

[Waywardism]

I'm in the process of building my first ever system. Did a breadboard test and it posted just fine. On the BIOS loading screen it says there is a CPU fan error. Inside the BIOS the fan speed is in red and reading around 465rpm. I then noticed that the fan is also spinning the wrong way. I've tried plugging it into the optional connector for a second fan but it made no difference.

Any Ideas?

If it helps here's what I'm using:
ASUS P8Z77-V Pro
i5 3570k
CM Hyper 212 Evo
G-Skills RipJawsX 8Gb 1600mhz
Gigabyte GTX 670

did you plug the fan in backwards?

if that fan doesnt work, try using one of your case fans for the cooler instead

The fan is working, and contrary to what I thought it is spinning the right way. It's definitely connected up in the right way. Could it just be that the BIOS doesn't like the low rpm?

if the cooler is keeping the cpu in a good temperature range, it should be ok. if you see temps that are going above 80 degrees, something is really wrong
