ajtupman Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 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? Oh yes there is also a slight high pitched continuous noise which my assumption is it's the pump working harder than it should be... Apologies for rambling...

Toasted Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Did you plug the 3-pin coming from the cooler into the CPU_FAN header on the motherboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajtupman Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 Yes, plugged the two fans into the y splitter and the 3 pin coming from the block into CPU_FAN header... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datakiller24 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Hi, This is how it should be connected: 1. Connections: - 3PIN connector of the CPU block to CPU header on Motherboard - Y connector to CPU block - 2 x 4PIN fans to the Y connector (connected to the coolers CPU block) - Data cable to CPU block , other end to USB header 2. Bios setup: - CPU fan controller disabled / manual 100% / full speed BR, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 If the LINK software reports the pump running at 0RPM as well, it is probably a sensor issue. You can try connecting the 3-pin to a different headset and see whether you can get a reading. If not, You can contact your retailer for a replacement or request an RMA to replace it via Corsair.
