Aurora R16, CPU fan detect failure

A couple of months ago, I purchased the new Aurora R16. It’s an excellent computer. However, for the past few days, I’ve been experiencing an issue: upon startup, I receive the following error message: ‘CPU FAN DETECT FAILURE,’ and after a few minutes, the system shuts down. I’ve checked inside the case, and all four fans appear to be working correctly. It’s indeed strange because theoretically, the CPU should be liquid-cooled. What can I do? Is it a false alarm (perhaps an internal thermometer malfunction)? Has anyone else experienced the same issue? Thank you, and please forgive my poor English!

The DELL technician  came and replaced the liquid cooling unit; issue resolved.

If it's liquid cooled it could be a pump failure of the liquid cooling unit.
What are your CPU temperatures? Chances are it's shutting down on over temperature.

Looks like CPU temperature is 99° Celsius (very high!) while GPU temperature seems fine (35° / 40° Celsius)

Is there anything i can do to fix the pump failure of the liquid cooling unit?

@Wasicun​ Looks like the pump failed. You can double check to ensure the cable for it is plugged in, but likely the pump failed. 

If you look under "installing" you can select the 120 or 240 assembly, as they are not the same cabling wise. The pictures will show you what to look for. Service Manual

I would engage a Dell agent to access warranty options, by clicking on the "get help now" button in the lower right corner of the screen.

I would not continue using it under those circumstances as you could overheat the liquid to a point where it damages the seals.

@Vanadiel​ Thank you very much for your reply! I engaged a Dell Agent (in a couple of days he will come to my house to fix on-site the issue)

Have I understood that correctly? Someone came and changed the cooling unit? I've had the same problem since this morning, only it's Sunday and there's no support.

Habe ich das richtig verstanden? Jemand ist gekommen und hat die Kühlflüssigkeit getauscht? Ich habe seit heute Morgen das selbe Problem, nur es ist Sonntag und es gibt keinen Support.

@TrueStory​ You will have to contact a Dell agent for warranty options by clicking on the "get help now" button in the lower right corner of the screen.

That is, if you experience the same issue.

@Vanadiel​ Where exactly do you mean? My PC no longer starts properly, the ventilation is running at full speed and after 1 minute the pc goes out.

Same error, I just replaced my unit but

the error persists on start. Do you know if they had to clear the error code or should it resolve itself once the unit is working properly?

@stowns​   did you replace with a Dell OEM AIO cooler, or 3rd party cooler?

I have the same issue. Started on Saturday and had to wait until Monday to engage support. The solution was to have a Tech come out to replace part or have me send it back to the factory to replace part and (hopefully) give it a thorough test... I chose to send it back.

Got word that they received computer and that the part is unavailable, so now the repair will take longer (estimated at least an additional week or two). 

I've had this computer for 32 days. I have concerns. Outside of this fan failure, I've tried about 4 games and each one has crashed within an hour or two of playing and are not very taxing on the  system. It even blue-screened on me once, can't tell you last time that has even happened to me.

This is by-no-means a dig on Dell support. They are fixing what needs to be fixed. Like I said, I just have ever-increasingly deeper & deeper concerns especially since I will be without the computer for about as long as I have had it.

Sorry for the rant. Just letting people know that this AIO cooler is an issue that you may encounter.
