CPU Fan Error

[Shadokam]

Hello guys.

 

So, I've bought a DeepCool Gammaxx 400, installed it (cpu fan header) and everytime the pc is booted the fan error shows up. 

It is psychically working, the leds light up and whatnot, but none of the "hardware detection/management" softwares could detect the cooler, neither did the BIOS.

To make sure it wasn't a hardware malfunction i plugged it into the chasis header and the BIOS actually detected it (and it seems at higher RPM than when plugged in the correct header), but i'm not sure how harmful it could be to leave it like that and ignore/turn off the error log.

 

Here's a list of things I've tried already:

• Update BIOS;

• Change BIOS cpu-fan configurations;

• Re installed the cooler.

 

The CPU temp is ranging from 33ºC ± 2ºC while idleing/web browsing, but i can't help but concern.

 

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure this happens because it is spinning below the minimum RPM threshold set in the BIOS, which you should be able to change. The setting should be located in the fan control section (at least for Asus motherboards it is).

Thanks for the rapid answers guys.

 

I changed the Q-Fan RPM threshold to 100 RPM (was at 200) and it didn't change a thing, then i disabled it and the PC booted without showing the warn. I'll be monitoring for the next few hours to see if it gets hot or anything.

 

And just a doubt, since the fan is not being detected in case the CPU temps gets really high will the fan rpm raise as well or will it maintain the same rotation? I don't know exactly this issue's outcomes.

This won't change your fan curve, so as your CPU gets warmer the fans will spin up as usual. It will just stop the motherboard from freaking out if it notices that your CPU fan is running really low, which is perfectly normal, for higher quality fans especially (at idle my CPU fans will run at ~150-200RPM or sometimes even turn off).

I see, thanks for the clarification!
