I've got a water cooled system that did that (BIOS complained that the
CPU fan was not running) when I first set it up. There is a setting in
my BIOS config that turns this warning off. (If I don't turn the
warning system off the computer shuts down automatically, safe but not
terribly convenient.)
My guess is that your solution will work fine. You didn't say how you
diagnosed that the cpu fan header was bad, if you're not sure then you
could get another fan (they're cheap) and try plugging it into the
original header. Panaflo fans come highly recommended.
have a good evening
