Cpu Fan Error on Starup

This is a common issue with asus boards. In case the fan spins very slowly on startup the motherboard may not be able to detect it as spinning. You can try lowering the "CPU Fan Speed Low Limit" to give the mb control over very low fan speeds.

Alternatively you can set the mb to skip "CPU fan error" when booting, so you dont need to press F1.

So I just finished my first build yesterday and when it starts up it says cpu fan error. The thing is the cpu fan is spinning.

 

Here are my specs

  • Asus maximus vi formula
  • I7-4790k
  • Intel 730 ssd
  • 3TB wd green dive
  • Coolermaster hyper 212 evo
  • Gigabyte G1 Gaming gtx 970
  • 16GB of corsair vengeance memory
  • Corsair AX1200i PSU

So I have the fan on the hyper 212 evo plugged into the header on my board that says cpu_fan not cpu_opt.

If someone would help that would be great.
