Buy a Y splitter and connect it to the same header that the other fan on the radiator is connected to. Both radiator fans should be running at the same speed anyway.

It says he got the CPU fan error. The R7 comes stock with the VRM heatsink on all configs. Dell implemented the VRM heatsink check with the R11.
@bichocho You need to unplug the pump connector from the CPU_Fan Header, and instead move it over to the PUMP_Fan header. The CPU fan header is left empty.

Once you clear the CPU_Fan error, you may be greeted with a FAN failed to respond correctly error, depending on which version of the Corsair H60 you purchased. The Corsair H60 version sold at bestbuy will clear POST without error on the R7, the one sold on amazon (2018 version) will POST error with the stock SP120L 120mm case fans.

Also, @bichocho , your picture was rejected for posting because you included the service tag on the top left (even though you correctly redacted the personal information in the center of the photo). Once you fix that, I suspect whoever is reviewing the photos will approve it.

Maybe thats why so il tell you what happen i bought an extra fan and made it as a sandwish for the cpu fan but i didnt find a spot for it , 1 fan connected to the top fan and the cpu connected to the pump fan , i connected the extra fan to the cpu fan , so should i remove it? Maybe thats why gives an error? Also if yes where should i connect the fan at

There is specific heatsink not attached EPSA error when you change.

" The R7 comes stock with the VRM heatsink on all configs.
actually it seems to me that they leave it off for Aurora and G5 and 8940 when you do not have liquid cooling. Which is why the error happens. @DELL-Chris M would be able to verify that
Aurora R7 R6 R5 Liquid Cooling Heatsink J46J2 0J46J2
https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000181167/reference-table-of-epsa-psa-error-codes-and-troub...
You will need a jumper wire between the 4 screw holes for cpu. vrm has 2 holes and also needs jumper so that the bios sees that each heatsink is attached aka j46j2
both cpu and vrm heatsinks are metal and conductive shorting the screw holes together for the vrm and cpu so that the bios senses the HSinks are attached. Liquid coolers are plastic and non conductive.
ePSA 2000-0714
j46j2. vrm hs
no heatsink means error

Here is what I am trying to show:
(1) there is only one VRM heatsink for the R7, it goes in the below box. It shipped on all R7/8/9 configs.
(2) there is no L shaped VRM heatsink option for the R7, 8 or 9 or anything before R10.

The PC with the red rectangle that you posted is actually a picture of my PC.
The R6 did not ship with VRM heatsinks on non-liquid cooled PCs.
The R7 shipped with VRM heatsink on all configs.
There is only one VRM heatsink on all R7 configs. That is the heatsink in the photo that you posted (which is my PC, it has a VRM heatsink).
Dell did not offer the L shaped VRM heatsink until the R10. R7 through R9 do not offer the L shaped VRM heatsink option on any config. It was not even introduced until the R10.

The error message that you are receiving has to do with the fan. The corsair H60 (2018) version, like I mentioned, is not compatible with the top or CPU or PUMP fan headers of the Aurora R7 motherboard. You can use an OEM fan, or a Corsair ML120 Pro.
If you have the prior version of the Corsair H60, and it was working fine before with one fan, but stopped working after you tried this, then you need to clear CMOS.
I can also confirm that I have an Aurora R7 and a Corsair H60 with a push/pull config and I am able to clear POST without any ePSA errors.
