Hi, i disassembled my cpu fan (stock intel cooler) because i was cleaning the dust that i had in my rig. I've had this cpu since 1/1,5 tears ago and i didn't install it myself the first time so this was my first time installing the cpu fan. After toying around with the locks a bit i figured out how to assemble it and i did. It seems like it's working fine but when i turn on the pc an error screen appears saying that there is a cpu fan errror, i press f1 to set up discard changes and windows boots normally. I checked the temps and they are around 30~35 8n idle, pretty normal to me (i5 3330 @3ghz, no oc nor anything unusual) so should i worry?

Btw i didn't have thermal paste handy so i let the stock one
