Hey, I understand what you're dealing with. You've got a Corsair Elite LCD H150i AIO and a DarkHero X570 motherboard. The issue seems to be with the fan setup—your AIO has a 3-pin header, but your CPU fan uses a 4-pin, and you're trying to connect the AIO header instead. Even swapping the connection didn<|pad|>, the problem persists. Make sure you're using the correct fan headers and that all connections are secure. Double-check the wiring diagram for your motherboard to confirm compatibility.

The fan should be placed in the gray header for fans, the CPU_OPT header is what you currently have with the AIO connected. You can either turn off that warning in the BIOS, as it’s often enabled by default on your board, or just disable it there. Also note that your RAM is in the incorrect slot, which may cause problems with XMP support.

Anticipated due to the single wire configuration, which is insufficient for proper operation. No sensing wire present means the system assumes no fan is active.

The single wire fixed in place is the sensing wire. It exists solely to transmit an RPM signal to the board; power must come from a SATA or Molex connector, not directly from the motherboard.

Sure, I've been away from that style for a while. It never really caught on to me before. Appreciate the fix.
