Arctic freezer pro rev2

Hi i have recently gone out and bought a Arctic freezer pro rev2 and it has reduced the temps on my 1055t by a few degrees. My problem is though it seems to be telling me the fan is going at 675000 rpm on my bios and hardware monitor. I know it cannot be running that fast so wondering if that is a known fault or should i replace it?

Mobo is m5a99x evo with newest bios update.

Sometimes if the fan is running to slow the motherboard throws up a silly reading, this has happened many times in the past with me.

Stres the cpu and see if you get a sensible reading.

I get the exact same reading with my Arctic Freezer 7 Pro rev 2 when the fan spins down... It's normally spinning at around 1600rpm and reaches around 2200rpm at full speed (which never really happens).

Same problem hence why its hooked to my controller now. At low rpm it gave me 675000rpm also on an ASUS M3N78

Thanks for the replies i was getting a little worried that it wass faulty but it seems to just be a normal problem.

I stressed it on prime 95 and got a proper reading thanks for your help guys
