Case fan not spining

[steliamoo69]

Hello,

I have a interesting problum. I bought new fans for my pc, and took the fan that was behind my radiator and gave it to my Boyfriend.

The fan worked in my PC, and was only plugged into the power supply, how ever when we put the fan behind his radiator(replacing the fan that was there as its connector that was connected to the power supply litterely melted, and caused a popping noise when doing so) anyway the fam did not spin, we tryed connecting it to just the power supply like my pc, still no go, changed out the power supply cord and multiple connections on the cord no luck. We plugged it into chasis_fan 1, 2,3 and the cpu_opt/w_pump. We tryed switching the slot in the power supply were the cord to the supply was connected(not the fan connector, sry I dont know what the cord is called)

His motherboard is an as ASROCK x370 killer.

Due to his case, behind his radiator is his only place to put his fan.

Iv litterely spent 8 hours plugging unplugging seeing if the fan was spinning, this is litterely driveing me nuts.

Please help,
Thank You.

You said the fan made a popping noise? If so it might be broken or something happened in the psu do you have a extra fan that you can use to test the cord?

We replaced the fan that popped with the fan from my case that worked.

If I'm reading this right, you took a fan that was working when connected directly to a PSU output, and moved it to another system. Now you find that, no matter where or how it is connected, it never runs at all. Right? Well, then that fan must be faulty now, even if it was OK at one time.

Ya, I'm starting to think that as we tryed his power supply with my fans and no problum, it powered them and they ran. The weird thing is that fan was behind my radiator for a year, it's only a year old fan, why would it go so quickly?

You're right, a fan normally will last for many years before failing.You have not mentioned any signs of problems before this, although you might not have noticed. But if it really did not have any symptoms of trouble, then it was not a pain wearing out with age. It must have had a weak component that failed suddenly.

Thanks for Best Solution.

Ya, I think it did fail, I was noticing a increase in heat in my system the past few months, wich is why I got new fans to begin with.
