Question Case fan RGB works, but none spin on boot.

[PcBuilds3]

So I just got these Enermax SquA RGB fans, and I plugged the fan power into my B660M motherboard's SYSTEM_FAN ports. My bios detects 2 of the 3 fans, and it claims they're spinning, but none of them are actually spinning at all.

I first want to figure out how I can get my fans to spin. Why can't the motherboard make them do anything? I also want to figure out why my motherboard won't detect my 3rd fan. I unplugged and plugged it back in several times but it won't defect it. Does anyone have ideas on what to try?

Are the 3 or 4pin (PWM) fans? You might want to enter BIOS and set headers they are connected to and set them appropriately.

These are the fans I'm using:
https://www.enermaxeu.com/products/fans/rgb-fans/squa-rgb/
The fans use PWM connectors. They're plugged into the motherboard's 4-pin system fan connectors (which I assume are also PWM)
This is the motherboard's manual. The fan details are on page 20.

Do you know how to set headers? Where can I find a tutorial for that?

Can't open link to manual but each header should have options for "Voltage control" (3pin), "PWM"(4pin) and eventually"Auto"

So should I edit some setting in the BIOS to see if it can either make my fans spin or detect my fan?

Just make sure they are set as PWM control, also try to set speed at full just to see if it's problem with too low speed setting.

You say, "it claims they're spinning". What do you mean? The only indication that a fan IS spinning in a fan confoiguration screen is if that fan has a SPEED showing. Are you seeing speed readings for these fans even though they are not moving?
