Rampage III black edition and CPU fan error,

delpy8 · 23 Apr 2011 at 13:33

Hi forum,

Just built my Rampage III going from a P6X58D-E,

Im using a corsair H70 and both fans and cpu connector are in the correct places and Im getting a bios error on CPU FAN ERROR.

Any ideas cheers :mad:

Is the fan 3pin or 4pin? Does the fan actually work?

Under Hardware Monitor, choose 'ignore fan speed' for the CPU. If that solves it, you haven't plugged the fan connector in the right header, or your fan doesn't produce RPM readouts (perhaps due to a broken wire).

THE H70 is a 3 pin connection

Just checked the CPU TEMP SITING AT 26.5 CELSIUS

I had the same error when i used a 3pin on a 4pin cpu fan header. Disabling the alarm worked

I'm assuming you've got the latest drivers and so on? I've never had experience of the Bigfoot cards, seem like a complete gimmick to me.
