Aurora-R7, i7-8700 CPU fan at 100%
I have just taken delivery of my new Aurora R7 specs:
i7 8700
Liquid cooled Chassis
16GB RAM
256GB SSD/1TB SATA
NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) GTX 1080 with 8GB GDDR5X
My issue is that although all the sensors read 21-27 deg using Auto Alien Control the CPU fan permanently reads 100%, whereas the others are either idling or at 20%. If I manually reduce it, the other fans speed up. Is this normal or if not, what's the solution?

Hi @Tel1967,
It's normal, there's nothing to worry about. The CPU Fan is going to read like this because the system has liquid cooling, not air cooling in the CPU.

Hi, I have same situation as you. That is no good. I have 2 R7 here. One come with 460W APFC PSU Liquid Cooled Chassis in standard , it shows "cpu pump" in Thermal. Another one is a optional Liquid Cooled Chassis. It has same case as you. Its wrong. There is no CPU fans in my PC. I think we need to ask Dell to do something.

I have the same build as the original poster.
My thermal readings also show 100% for CPU fan and shows roughly 5250 RPM. My front fan shows 495 rpm (20%) and top fan shows 1160 rpm (IDLE).
Does this all sound normal for the liquid cooled chasis? Is there any way I can confirm that they built my Aurora R7 correctly and used the liquid cooled chasis?
Thanks.

Yes thats all fine.
Mines the same with liquid cooling.
There's no cpu fan as such, it might actually be showing an 'rpm' for the pump perhaps.
If the actual radiator fan kicks in at 100% speed you'll definitely know about it :)
You can test it by manually setting the fan speed in the control centre

1. I guess you see that in ePSA. That is the liquid-cooler's pump-rpm.
2. In Windows AW-CC Thermal Controller ... sounds fine. I suggest Manual and then a nice up-hill Curve.
3. Yes. If you question the build, you can look inside for the (Asetek made) Alienware Liquid-Cooler on Intel processor.

Same as who/what ?
I suggest you start your own thread. And if you want a good answer, some config specs would be nice ... like does your system have a Liquid-Cooler. If a fan problem, which fan (there are several).

Yes liquid cooler. I am seeing cpu fan showing 5500 rpm in command center though. System seems to run fine

I have
8700k 4.5 ghz oc
gtx 1080 ti
512 gb SSD
32 gb 2666 ram
I saw at one point a "Cpu pump failed" in the taskbar thermal controller. Since this time, CPU PUMP "Running" has disappeared from the command center and I now see below CPU FAN, which now reads 100% ~5309 RPM...
Does anyone know what is going on here? Still runs games fine. CPU temps don't go over 58 c in 1440p demanding games....

I have the Ryzen edition, and it has started doing the same thing. Only with the top liquid cooled set up. I have found that every time, and I mean every time there is a Windows Update (10 and 11) my top fan goes berserk. I run the windows update, restart and everything is fine until I'm gaming and there is another update and the fan ramps up again. So it could be just restarting or it could be something to do with AWCC having an issue with the windows update system. Hope this helps, Dell won't.
