cpu fan error

i'm getting the message CPU FAN Error, the fan is 100% connected the right away, the fan is working fine, the only thing i could think of that is causing this because the fan is a 3pin and on the mobo its a 4pin connector, any ideas ?

Could be a couple of things. Fan is not connected to the FAN1 header. The fan may not be spinning fast enough which could cause an overheating problem. Is this a new fan or an older one? What CPU HSF are you using?

Is it possible that you plugged into the wrong place in the motherboard?
