So my case has 3 fans. Two at the front and one at the back. The back fan and one of the front fans work fine(the top fan of the two) when I turn on the computer. The third fan however doesn't start up unless I give it a push to start up. I originally had this problem when I first built the system but since I was cleaning the case, I decided to give this another go and tried pushing the fan manually and it started spinning.
All 3 fans are connected to the mobo sysfan 1, 2, 3. I'm unsure what the name of the connections are, it has 3 holes which just plugs into the pins on the sysfans which has 4 pins(only 3 are needed to power the fans).I believe it is just called a 3 pin female fan connector? I removed the molex connectors because I originally couldn't get any fan to spin ,but removing the molex and just using the female connector got them working.
I've seen threads about maybe there isn't enough voltage however my PSU is 750W and my system shouldn't even need 500W so surely it can't be that. Also since all 3 fans are connected the same way, I don't see why one shouldn't start up.
Any ideas/solutions on how I could fix this? Having to remove the front of the case and dust filter to spin one fan every time isn't ideal.
Thanks for any help.
