Hi ,

Maybe the fan speed is variable (normally actual cooler have this feature)
Is this your cooler?

Looks fast enough... I think 1800RPM is about the limit it stops being able
to detect.

Connector 3 Pin, mainboard

As long as thats connected to the CPU fan header...

I workaround is to plug a case fan int that header, but then you obviously
won't get a warning if the CPU fan stops. To aid that, you could use
something like MBM5 with a warning on the header that the cpu fan is then
connected to.
