Need help

[NCRForever]

I just bought a DeepCool Captain 240 EX white a few days ago. I followed the installation instructions, even watched a few youtubes before I installed it. But, I have a problem. Every time I restart my computer, I get a CPU fan error. So, I hit F1 and go into my BIOS and check the settings and everything seems fine. I exit out of BIOS and my OS starts up without any issues. Any help would be awesome. Thank you.

Don't know for sure, but for me the problem was that my motherboard didn't like the pump connected to the cpu_fan header.

So would be good to know how you connected your aio cooler.

For me the solution was to set the "cpu-fan" / "cpu-fan-speed" in the motherboard under hardware monitoring to "ignore". And use the software of my aio to control the pump and fan speeds.

Before you try that you could look up under the same settings whats displayed. If it shows N/A the mobo can't find your cpu speed due to the aio cooler.

 

Edit: just looked up your aio... Seems there is no software to control it, cause it's controlled over the bios, so... my thoughts are worthless ^^

Not at all. I have the aio hooked into my Kingwin LCD fan controller. But, it's set in the BIOS to monitored. Maybe I should connect it to fan control 1 on the mobo? Or I could just set it to ignored.

Edit:

I think ignored is the best bet though. Since it's already hooked into the fan control.

If it works, it works :D Never used an external fan control device, so I'm no big help there.

It worked. But, are we doing the right thing setting it to ignore? My fan control isn't external. It's a Kingwin FPX-004. Slips right into an unused bay.

Edit:

Whoops! The Kingwin was pulled when I Installed the Captain 240 EX. I now have the NZXT Sentry 3 installed.
