Just been on the Arctic-cooloing web site... Should have looked there first..lol
they say>
The BIOS of some mainboard manufacturers compares the speed of the fan with a specified value. If the fan speed does not match the specified value, either the PC emits a warning or switches off. Contrary to the temperature control, the RPM control is of no importance, since fan speeds will be between 500 and 7000 RPM depending o*n the type of fan. This RPM control can de deactivated in the BIOS settings. Please consult your mainboard manufacturer for more information regarding these settings.

Asus web site don't say nothing.

I will do what you said and turn the warming off. The temp been stable
