Hello guys and girls, could use alittle help if thats ok..

installed this coolit vantage cpu cooler few years ago, never had a problem with it..
then a week or 2 ago, it just starts coming up with cpu error when turning on/restarting pc.
the fan works fine its still running ok, temps are ok, would just like to know if anyone has any idea what cause/how to fix it!

i did over clock too around 4ghz at some stage, then in the start up screen it tells me its resetting it back to the default values (dont remember the exact message) which it did, ive since put it back up too 4ghz but still unsure what caused it. (not sure if the 2 things are even related)


anyhelp would be much loved!

Board = asus p6t
cpu = i7-920 d0,
 
if the cooler has a lot of dust in it it may be spining up slow and the mb is seeing this and giving you a low cpu fan speed error. the fan on the cooler live may be ending and at boot is cold stuck. when the pc over clock failed it reset the bios setting and cpu fan speed warning is set to high. some fans spin at so low of a speed that you have to turn down the fan min warning speed. if the cooler is in good shape and temps are fine blow the fan out and with the power off see if the fan spins easy. if when you spin the fan it looks like it wabbling or it stops real easy. you can change the fan on most cooler. most held in by a screw or clips. just order the right size for the fan. if it a sealed cooler check the fan speed settings in the bios.
 


its a all in 1 kinda watercooled unit, to be honest i think corsair brought out the company and they arent making them anymore, or have any kinda help forum. fan speed in bios says N/A i dont think i have any control over the fan speed?
