My fans are wired this way; 2 rear exhaust fans with +- leads wired together, powered by the PSU. My CPU fan (Thermaltake 90mm Blue UV UFO Fan) is also powered by the PSU. Both the rear exhaust fans and the CPU fan have the RPM signal wire going to the appropriate connections on the motherboard.
When I boot I never get a fan error for the rear fans it's always for the "front" fan (my CPU fan) and it's not all the time. I'd say 50/50 is an accurate estimate of how often I get this error. I have tried tickling the sensor with different fan speeds to no avail... Is there a magic RPM that I need during POST so I can fool the BIOS or is it a voltage issue with the CPU fan that is so different than the stock Dell front fan that the Bios can tell the difference?
