viperown05 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Ok so last week I turned my pc on like every other day and it loaded up and said CPU fan error press F1...got to the desktop and opened up Real Temp GT and it was idleing at 80c and it got up to 101C so i turned off the PC. I looked up how to fix it. Most things i saw said go to the bios to change the Qfan to 200 RPM but that did not work. So I figured it was the pump was faulty and ordered a new h100i and installed it. Still shows cpu fan error at startup but the temps are now in the norm at 35C idle. How do I get rid of this error? Thanks!

G50EED Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 What do you have plugged into your CPU_FAN header? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viperown05 Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 The y cable that splits from the cooler itself. One goes to power and one goes to the header on Mobo. I am fairly certain everything is hooked up correctly as my first unit never did that then all of a sudden cpu fan error. It worked well for about 1.5 years. Now the new one is showing good temps but only the fan error is occurring on startup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees Fauxbeard Posted August 29, 2014 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 29, 2014 Is your H100i connected to an internal USB 2.0 header? If so, disconnect the cable and restart your system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viperown05 Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 Is there a reason to take it off? In the directions it tells me to use it. If i take it off and the error goes away. Will it still warn me if its getting to hot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanted to find out if the USB is causing an issue and it looks like it is. Plug it into a different USB header or an external USB port and see if issue persists. Our Link software will still show your CPU activity and temps even if the H100i is not plugged into any USB ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
