PC Processors

So i rebuilt my entire computer a long time ago and bought an Asus Prime X470-Pro and an ryzen 7 2700x. Everything went smoothly untill i came to the promt screen which said CPU ERROR!. The cpu cooler works fine but the Cpu Cooler appreantly doesnt get registered and i cant change the lighting on it. I would really like help with this as i like to change up colors in my system from time to time.

dude - what is your problem

1. CPU error // your CPU is not working
2. CPU Cooler not RGB

1. do a CMOS reset

2. is Cooler plugged into RGB-Header of MoBo?; correct cables used? correct headers used?

[novapds]

The CMOS is reset and the cooler is plugged in correctly. Its working just fine i just cant interact with it in any way.

show us a picture of your RGB in BIOS

[novapds]

Rgb in bios? Where the hell would i find that?

[benman2785]

well - in your bios xD

look through all the pages:

for me it is under "peripherals"

Looking through bios overview's this is a feature that does not exist on my board.

[benman2785]

yours wouldnt be called RGB Fusion but "Aura" or "RGB" or "RGB Aura"

it WILL be there

[novapds]

I only have an option to turn Aura on or off. No settings i could tweak or look at.

[benman2785]

ok - enable it
go into windows and download the ASUS Aura software - then set your CPU Cooler to your wished color

[novapds]

As i stated earlier the Cpu cooler that came with the Cpu is comming up with a cpu fan error everytime i boot the computer. Its non interactive.

[benman2785]

is the fan actually spinning?
what are the temps in BIOS?

maybe the Cooler is defect - you will get a Wraith Prism for 10-15€ on eBay - so dont hassle with RMA on a dead cooler
but you can try to plug your CPU Cooler on a different CPU FAN header

[novapds]

Yes the fan is sipinning and i can play with it perfectly fine. The temps are normal i just cant get the motherboard to register it actually being plugged in.

[benman2785]

please show me a picture on what header your CPU Fan is plugged in ;)

[novapds]

The cpu cooler is plugged into CPU_FAN And i no longer get the promt screen saying "CPU FAN ERROR" anymore. I realised i plugged it into the wrong header and its working i pressume. Only issue im having is that the aura creator tool is not registering it which is a common bug more people complain. And i dont know a work around.

[benman2785]

would be nice if you could give me a kudo for my suggestion to check the CPU FAN header ;)

as i havent own any ASUS MoBos since 2001 i cant help you with ASUS AURA... :/
