CPU overheat warning...

Just got a new heat sink and fan (Arctic Cool). After I installed it and
turned on the machine I got the Bee-boop (CPU overheating alarm). Needless
to say, I immediately shut off the machine, checked the fan (it was running)
and the CPU (it was cold to touch). Very weird! I then reapplied the
thermal paste, and reinstalled the heat sink/fan assembly (thinking,
perhaps, I had not applied the paste properly). Turned on the machine, same
result. The only way to stop it is to turn it off in BIOS. Running
Motherboard Monitor software, it says the CPU is cooking away at 18° C right
now (not so hot) but, if I turn it back on in the BIOS, I will get the
warning again. Any ideas??? Or is turning off the warning in BIOS my only
solution?

I had an AI7 mb fail with the alarm sounding constant any time
power was applied.
Everything else was operating perfectly. I had to unplug the pc
speaker to stop it.
I exchanged the board and the new one works perfect.

had this problem with the fatality board

Had the same problem. The board is sensing zero RPM's from your cooler fan.
Be sure you have the 3rd wire (yellow) hooked up correctly.
