Hi, I have just bought and installed my very first AIO CPU cooler, the H100i GTX. As far as I can see it's installed correctly but upon booting up I get the message "CPU Fan Error, press F1 to run setup".

This then takes me into the bios where I don't know what I'm doing, or if I'm supposed to do anything, there's no mention of anything in the manual.

So I hit escape and my PC then boots into Windows as normal. I open up Afterburner and my CPU temp is a steady 43/44 degrees. Not as low as I had hoped but not as high as I thought it would be if the unit wasn't working properly.

I then played Fallout 4 for three hours and the temp stayed at these steady mid 40s degrees.

The Corsair link software reports that the CPU fan is at 0 rpm, but I can see both fans are spinning...

Any ideas as to what the heck is going on? I've been on the Corsair cooling forum and received little to no help...

Apologies for rambling...
 
Do you have an asus motherboard?

I assume you have plugged the h100i fans into the block/pump on the unit therefore leaving nothing plugged into the CPU_fan header? This causes the system to throw a wobbly cause it thinks there is nothing cooling the CPU.
 
So the pump is plugged in to the CPU fan header? If so just plug it in to CPU_OPT and set the warnings on CPU_FAN to ignore... Its a pump not a fan so your system might not report and RPM but so long as the pump is running then its all good.

Presume the fans are then plugged in to the H100 block or on other spare channels. In short go to BIOS and ignore/disable the CPU_FAN warnings, I used the CPU_OPT for mine in my old system - makes no difference really.
