Aurora-R4, error code 2000-0511, validation 118549

Question

Hello! The desktop of my brother was 'dead' some months ago. The CPU was out of order. I changed it, and a message is running when we turning on the desktop. 'Alert ! CPU Fan failure... Strike F1 to continue F2 to run Setup utility'. Press F1 launch the computer without any problem. But I would like to solve this problem. I changed the graphic card too, from 760 to a 960. I already post this before, but, after the update of the BIOS (A9 -> A11), the validation changed from 89305 to 118549 Thanks Aurora-R4 i7-4820K GTX 960 2GB 8GB DDR3 500GB SSD

I don't change the watercooling. But, the upper "circuit-board", right from CPU-FAN, there is a "sensor" but there no cable.

Asetek cooler's radiator fan should instead use SYS_FAN header.

"Top Lighting Board" Connections:
CPU_Pump (Asetek Cooler) pump
Sys_Fan (Asetek Cooler) radiator or main system fan
CPU_Fan - No connection

'Alert ! CPU Fan failure. Strike F1 to continue F2 to run Setup utility is very specific. Either the cooling fan is bad or the Alienware MS-4194 Aurora FX Master Control Board is bad. Also possible that the liquid cooling assembly was not installed properly, that's why you're getting that ePSA error. This  video is related to the installation of the liquid cooling assembly.

2000-0511 is a Fan Failure notice.  When you changed the CPU did you also change the cooler and fan?  Dell fans have an extra connection that is detected by the Power On Self Test.  Non-Dell fans do not have this and you will always get the fan failure notice and have to press F1.  No way to get around this with a non-Dell fan.

I don't change the watercooling. But, the upper 'circuit-board', right from CPU-FAN, there is a 'sensor' but there no cable. There is normal?
