Aurora R7, 3rd party fan, SA CPU fan error message

Question

So I have an Alienware Aurora R7 and I upgraded my water cooling to the new Corsair Icue H100I Elite Capellix Cpu Cooler. Everything runs perfectly, the fans and the cooler is doing its job. But when I restart the computer a message pops up from Dell SA (SupportAssist) saying that 'CPU fans are not working'. But after I press continue it starts up normally. The Icue and the computer programs are reading the CPU fan. Is there anyway I can override the Dell SA for it to stop saying that message?

No way to override the message in bios.

But if you use Corsair ML120 Pro fans, they will not throw an error.

How did you manage to fit such a large radiator in the R7 case? Did you put that under the GPU?

Doesn't the corsair fan controller have a 0 RPM mode for idle?  You should be able to set a different curve.
