CPU Fan Error

Arshad07 · 16 May 2010 at 14:08

I get this error while booting up my computer: CPU Fan Error. Press F1 to continue.

I guess thats because i'm not using the 4-pin fan connector to connect my cpu fan. But my heatsink's fan uses a 3-pin connector, so i had to connect it somewhere else.

Is there any thing that can be done to remove that error?

Plug something into the 4 pin, you can still fit a 3 pin in there.

^ Really? U meant to say that i can fit the 3-pins from my heatsink fan into the 4-pin?
