My fans have all stopped working, I don't know exactly when this happend but I think it was about a month ago. My pc used to be very cold but now it's up to temps of 60 degrees celcius which I knew wasn't right. Then I noticed that none of my fans were working. I don't know how this happend. My computer is about one year old and I haven't had any sort of problem with it before this. Everything else is working the same as it has before and I haven't noticed any problem when it comes to performance. The GPU and CPU fans are working too. It's just the other ones (the ones connected to the case itself) that have stopped working completely. All the cables are plugged in and there shouldn't be a problem but yet there is. If anyone knows what might have caused this problem I'd be really thankful if you could tell me in an answer!

Thanks!

Update: I read on another tomshardware page to download Speedfan, so I did just that but then I realized that the fans aren't showing up there! So they're probably not even connected to the motherboard!
I should probably mention that when I was cleaing the inside of the compuer one of the fans unplugged itself, I just plugged it back in but it seems like I must've done something wrong. But I double checked and I didn't find anything wrong. They were connected just like they had been before all this even happend. It's a true mystery. Please help me solve this! Thanks!

Sorry for not saying this earlier but I fixed the issue myself by unplugging the cables that are connected to the motherboard and connecting them again. I don't why or how that helped but it did somehow
