Bios says “CPU Fan Error” but there’s nothing wrong

[TheOmegaKnights]

I just got a Ryzen 5 3600 CPU and after installing it, I can’t turn on my computer. Whenever I turn it on, I see the image I have attached here. When I press F1 I get menus about system settings and whatnot. The issue is, I’ve spent the last 3-4 hours verifying everything is plugged in correctly, and I’ve even unplugged and replugged everything in my motherboard. It still says there’s a CPU Fan error. My CPU is at a temp of 56c so the fan is obviously working fine. Is there a way I can override this bios thing so I can actually use this new CPU? I’m really struggling here. Thanks to anyone who helps.

Have you checked your BIOS for something along the lines of a "low RPM limit" for your CPU fan?

All I can find about RPM is “CPU Optional Fan Speed” which says it’s set to 2596 RPM.

Head into BIOS, go to Monitor, find CPU Fan Speed, hit enter and set it to ignore.

 

This is a very common issue for people with AIOs or you might have plugged the CPU fan into the wrong header.

I think you plug your fan header in Cpu fan optional instead of the primary header. Your computer now thinks you have no cpu fan installed and gives you an error message. The should be a setting un the bios to bypass this, but you could also plug it into the primary cpu fan header

Thank you so much, that fixed it!
