CPU fan error

[BulletSponge]

I’m working on a older pc and am getting a cpu fan error even though the fan is plugged into the correct spot

plz help

The bios detects the fan but lists it as n/a

This looks like the CPU cooler from something like a HP, Dell or something like that, correct?

Doesn't look like it's a normal 4 pin PWM connector.

 

Can you tell me, from left to right what order are the colored wires connected?

Is the order Yellow - Red - Black - Blue?

The cpu fan is from a dell optiplex

its yellow red black blue

Assuming this fans follows the general rules with wire colors, it's wired up different as compared to how a fan is normally connected. The standard would be black, red, yellow, blue.

Looking at the picture, it seems like +12v is connected to +12v, but ground/rpm signal are on the wrong pins.

 

My advice would be to just get a simple, but standard cooler for replacement, unless you're feeling inclined to switch around pins (which I would high go against recommending).

Is this fan ok it’s the only 1155 fan I could find

Intel hasn't changed their mounting specifications in years (which is a good thing), which means their last 5 sockets are intercompatible with cooler, meaning the large majority of cooler available would work with Intel LGA 1155.

 

Intel went from: LGA 1156, to 1155, to 1150, to 1151, to 1200.

If a cooler mentions any of these (or sometimes they will just mention "115x", they would work with your motherboard.

 

That cooler would be fine for the price, of course if you want something quieter you could spend a bit more, but that really wouldn't be needed I think.
