Question BSOD after installing Dark Rock 4 Pro and "CPU Fan error" in BIOS

[Stankenestor]

So i just installed the Dark Rock 4 Pro and i now get BSOD's with the error message "WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR " after having installed the CPU cooler. The fans are connected properly to the CPU fan connector on my motherboard though. On startup after i installed the CPU cooler my bios says "CPU Fan Error. Press F1 for setup.". When entering bios the RPM of my chassis fans and the CPU fan is very low with red text (around 450-550 RPM). Is there something wrong and if so how do i fix it? My idle CPU temp is definately lower though and i already tried a game (before getting a BSOD) and the temps were around 50 degrees celcius (40 degrees lower).

You didn't over-tighten the cpu cooler screws? When securing the screws, once the screwdriver stops, you stop.

The fan thing is easy. There should be a section in your motherboard where you can adjust the fan speeds. You should also be able to set the fan rpm limit warning, which is what is being triggered - all you have to do is lower it.
That feature is to let you know when it's time to replace your fan(s). When the motor breaks down, it won't spin as fast, or not at all.

There's likely a low point where the "error" will trigger - probably 500rpm.
It's there for certain fans, where <500RPM is a problem, as the vast majority don't have a particularly low bottom end. A lot of Noctuas amd some beQuiet! fans bottom out are 400rpm whereas competitors typically have a lower end of ~600rpm.

You should be able to change that warning level to something lower (say 200rpm, for example), or disable outright.

I highly doubt the "error" has any correlation to the BSOD though.

Thanks. I fixed the BSOD, i managed to activate the TPU switch by accident on my motherboard lol
