Cpu Fan Header Error

Here are some more suggestions.

Galaxy unpacked for every fan. I installed the kraken as i would any normal liquid cooler being sure to plug the 3 pin fan header into the cpufan header on the motherboard and the radiator fans to the first two slots in the four available connectors coming off of the pump. I would hit the bios and check your fan header settings. Also check for any bios updates which may address the fans operation.

A typical pc would have a single cpu and a heatsink mounted on top of it with a fan. In this video im going to show you how to fix the cpu fan error on your computer. This method is a bypass to the sensor due to older systems not having an aio cooler header plug on the motherboard and the cpu fan header does not provide enough sustained power to keep the pump running at 100.

The cpu fan header is exactly what it says. It could be too low to start the fan though it shouldnt or it might just be a build up of dust that is stopping the fan from starting. The cpu header will likely be labelled cpu fan but if it isnt its still easy to spot with its three holes for the fans three pronged plug.

Whats the difference between cpu fan socket cpu opt socket and a sys fan socket on motherboard. Ensure that the cpu fan cable is securely installed to the cpufan connector instead of the chafan. If you install another brand of cpu fan with lower revolutions speed the system may not be able to correctly detect ityou can try to set cpu fan speed low limit to 200 rpm in bios configuration.

I recently got the kraken x61 to replace my corsair h50 because im going for an entirely nzxt look. If you plugged it into something else the hardware monitor will see 0 rpm on the cpu fan port. Try an alternate cpu fan header.

If you have multiple cpu fan headers on your motherboard try plugging the fan into a different slot.
