Sorry for reviving an old thread, but I was able to find a solution after searching for it for a few hours today. Turns out that I was shorting the pins C, E and F. That was causing the system fan BIOS issue. I only needed to short the pins C and E to make everything boot correctly without any issues! WRONG WAY: CORRECT WAY: Just wanted to post the solution to this issue in case anyone ever ended up with the same issue. Cheers!

@GDRRiley - I updated the bios to the latest version available on Dell's website (fairly new bios update at Jul 2019!) and tried all the tabs in the BIOS utility and there is no option to disable it unfortunately :( @Tristerin - Interesting point. It's possible that I may not have combined all the required headers as might be in the Dell's case connectors. I can try a couple other combinations to see if the problem persists. Thank you both for your replies. Much appreciated.

I recently got a good deal on ebay for parts from a Dell Inspiron 3647 for a simple home media NAS. It took me a while to figure out the weird proprietary front panel connectors by Dell (?). I have attached a couple of images of how I fixed the bootup issue for Dell motherboards (No display output, CPU fans turn on, Power LED turns on) outside of dell cases. Now the system boots up, everything works as it should, except for 1 annoyance. Every time the system is turned on, it displays a system fan failure error message. . I have to press F1 to continue normal boot up process. I intended the NAS (running OpenMediaVault) to sit in a corner of the room running headless, but now needs to have a keyboard attached to it when I shutdown the NAS at night. Looking at the motherboard, there is only 1 fan header in the motherboard and that is for the CPU fan (FNCPU1 in the image). Doing a Dell bios wizard utility shows CPU fan as ok, but the system fan missing. Anybody got any ideas/suggestions that I can try to fix the annoying bios message? Also i saw a couple of posts in this forum where people talk about boot up issues due to Dell and their proprietary front panel connectors here: Not sure if its ok to reply with a link to this post as a possible fix for their issues even though its an old problem, I feel it might be useful for people who buy the same parts from eBay (there are still lots of postings for the Inspiron 3647 parts) and have trouble when they connect everything and try to turn the system on to only see the CPU fans spin, power on lights and no output on the monitor. HWMonitor Fan Status: Cheers!

Hi, TLDR version: Check the CPU Voltage for your 7700K. My motherboard was giving unnecessary high voltage to the CPU out of the box(did not change any settings in motherboard or anywhere). My FPU stress test temperatures were at 91C-94C within 2 seconds. After checking out this forum and Gamernexus review, I was able to reduce the CPU voltage and bring the temps down to ~67C! Currently running 4.8GHz at ~80C and very happy with it Long version: I got a Gigabyte Z270XP-SLI (Rev 1.0) to pair with my new 7700K. For cooling, I'm using Corasair H100i v2. This was a completely new PC with a clean install and all out of the box configurations in the motherboard. After installing Windows 10, I did stress testing on the CPU and GPU(My EVGA GTX 1080 SC was quite cool at 65C under furmark). As soon as I started the CPU and FPU stress tests on AIDA64 Trial version, the temps jumped to 91C-94C in less than 2 seconds. Scared out of my wits, I shut down the system after 2 minutes of same steady temps and reinstalled my AIO cooler carefully. Repeated the procedure 4 more times with no improvements in temps. By the way, my idle temps were perfectly normal at around 29C-31C. Joined this forum and found this amazing post by Streetguru in this forum. Apparently Gigabyte Z270 motherboards applied waaaaay to much CPU voltage right out of the box so when doing a stress test, the temps went skyhigh before you could say wtf. The motherboard came with BIOS version F2(dated 11/26/2016). Once i upgraded the BIOS to F4(02/22/2017), the CPU voltage dropped to 1.25V and the temps reduced to 70C-73C. Tried a few more variations and here are the results for the stress tests: Stable 4.5Ghz @1.2V with temps at 67C Stable 4.8Ghz @1.242V with temps at ~80C [Current setting] Stable 4.9Ghz @1.248V with temps at ~82C-83C BSOD 5Ghz (didn't want to up the voltage beyond 1.3V. I might be able to do it, but this speed is not necessary for me. ) Another article linked by Streetguru thta I found very helpful: http://www.gamersnexus.net/hwreviews/2744-intel-i7-7700k-review-and-benchmark/page-4 Hope that helps for anyone worried with their temperature reading. Im a newbie here, let me know if my post had any issues and I will edit it. Thanks to you guys I fixed my issue!
