Weird H110i fan issue, anyone know what's happening?
Yesterday I cleaned out my PC and removed the dust filters, but one of the fans became loose and spun at an odd angle, getting stuck in the frame. I disassembled it, replaced it with another fan, and when I restarted it it showed a CPU fan error and took me to the BIOS. Now the waterblock won’t power on—both fans only work if connected to specific ports, and one is completely unresponsive, making a loud noise. The only way to get it running again was to adjust the BIOS settings to ignore the water cooler and fan data, which isn’t really a solution. I still have warranty coverage, but I’m not sure if I kept the receipt from Fry’s. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks for reading.
Begin with all powered parts unplugged, detach the graphics card and SATA HDD except the CPU cooler and fan, remove the motherboard battery, keep the case's power button pressed for 5 seconds. Allow a 15-minute period to clear CMOS data.
Then reinstall the battery, connect the appropriate ATX port (24-pin, 4+4 or 8-pin EPS), power on, and if you encounter a POST error immediately enter BIOS, configure time and date, apply default or optimal settings, save changes and exit.
