Question Not Reading CPU Cooler

[Cogbill]

Hey Guys,

So I recently changed out some parts on my PC and am now running into a slight issue. Every time I launch my PC it fails to boot and gives me the error saying “CPU Fan Error” and tells me to go to the bios. However, once I go to the bios and click save and exit, the PC boots and runs just fine with normal temps. Even in the bios it shows that the CPU fan is running. Not sure if this means that the fan isn’t connected properly but seeing that my temps are normal, kind of puts me at a block.

Might just be a slow to start fan. Any other fans you can plug into the CPU port just to see if it it the port or the fan?

The motherboard is brand new, should there be a problem with the port?

Why not?

Shouldn't be. Doesn't mean there isnt. I'd try what eximo recommends, then think about rma if it is the header.

This isn't a rare thing to see. The CPU fan is just too slow to reach the minimum speed before the BIOS detect the fan being to slow and give you that error message. Just go in your BIOS and turn off the alarm on the CPU fan speed and you're done. Reboot.
