CPU Fan Required for Liquid Cooling

[Aklenar]

I am new to the liquid cooling, and I found out my motherboard requires a cpu fan to be plugged in to boot up. However, since there is a waterblock on the cpu, there is no need for the cpu fan, so what should I do?

plugg a casefan or any fan to the the cpu fan header and match the fanprofile it previusly had.

If you are using an AIO, can't you plug the fan(s) on the AIO into the header for the cpu?

[RollinLower]

You could plug your pump into the CPU fan header, should give it a nicely controllable fancurve as well!

IF you do not wish to do any of the above please post the Motherboard you are using as it may be possible to bypass. 

also a quick check, you do have a Fan on the Radiator right ?

I am using a z370 F Asus Board, i7 8700k, and HD120 rgb fans. And I do have fans on the radiator. The damn thing still isn't booting up. Here is a picture of the setup. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? It is annoying me a lot. Thanks

do you not have a watercooler attached to your waterblock? your cpu is probably overheating if that is the case...

The cpu was not hot at all when I tried starting it up
