CPU Fan speed error detected

CPU fan is running really slow and clunky. The other fan has never run, not sure why this is the case.

 

POST is giving me this error. I'm running Kraken X61 cooling system on an Asus Z710 series motherboard.

 

What check list should I go through to get this resolved?

 

I have compressed air and ready to clean radiator. But, wondering if something else I should try first.

Maybe the fan is broken?

This was my thoughts. It still spins, it's just clunky.

Dead fan if the fan is very odd itself and not running properly.

@Ae0lus,  Check list as follows. make sure to do these checks with the system shut off and not in sleep/hibernation mode.

  1. check that all the cables for the fans are properly seated on the connectors, especially the CPU/CPU OPT headers
  2. make sure no cables are pulling or pressing on FAN connectors especially if you have a fan hub or splitter
  3. make sure the molex power connector for any fan hubs/splitters are properly seated
  4. In the BIOS load a saved profile if any and reboot

Hmm, I have a feeling it's a dead fan.

 

NZXT FX V2 140mm Performance PWM Fan

 

It seems to be out of stock:

Any alternative suggestions? I have Amazon Prime, was hoping to get them for tomorrow to London.

It depends on your budget and style (stupid RGB) anyway look for either Akasa Apache 140mm or the re-branded Rosewill hyperborea 140mm in black, of course the Silent wings/Corsair/Noctua/etc would work too if you so desire.

Wait, shouldn't it depend on what's in the CPU fan header?

If the pump is plugged in there, you could have a dying pump in that Kraken.

 

All depends on your setup.

Slightly worried, that I placed the canned air too close to the GPU, after cleaning the whole machine.

 

As now when I boot the PC up it does not display output. The fans on the GPU still run and the rest of the system seems to boot up. I know this is a painful thing to check for, but what check list should I follow now?
