the error is due to dell bios not liking the cpu fan. unless you change the fan, the error will stay, but since the cooler is running find and doing its job, just ignore the error which is a nuisance.

It works fine and has no problem. Problem is Dell bios being unforgiving coded to pass oem fan or the like only.

@jonboy
Dell fans go up to 4000 RPM.
