Case Fans Not Working

[Privster]

Hi, built my own gaming pc yesterday, set it all up today and installed all my drivers, OS, etc.

However my Graphics Card / CPU made a lot of noise after playing a game for 10 minutes.

So, I NEED to get my fans fixed on my case.

My case accommodates 4 case fans and 1 CPU fan.
- CPU fan works.
- 1 Case fan works (plugged into mobo).

- 3 case fans don't work (2 also plugged into mobo, 1 plugged into case wiring).


They all use the small 4 pins, (http://cdn.overclock.net/8/87/87b88fa2_okgearpwmy-spillterfancable.jpeg)

so what can I buy to make them work (would attaching them to the PSU work)?

i'd try getting a fan hub and plugging it into the pins that do work on you motherboard and then plug all of you 4 pin fans (not CPU) into the hub. if not i'm not sure but it should work. NZXT make one that you can buy for £20.

I agree with Mitchell. You could also try getting a 4-pin to molex adapter, but that's more on the side to cooling than noise, as a molex adapter will make the fans go at 100% all of the time.

Here's one I found:

but if the fans aren't working at the moment whilst being plugged in- would they actually work with a fan hub plugged into the PSU?

check if the fans are enabled on the motherboard bios

on the mobo BIOS, the CPU fan and the 1sysfan is active and working, sysfan2 and sysfan3 are not on, nor do they turn on :/

those headers may be dead check with the working fans and if the working fan does not work on that header then RMA the motherboard
