Question Cpu fan wont spin

[Shaftyzyzyyz]

Hello, i got myself a new cpu cooler today, coolermaster hyper 412s. it had 3pin connector but mb had 4 pins and i plugged it in the mb. Question is, should the fan spin only when the temps are high or it should spin all the time? I played 2 wingman matches in csgo and the temps didnt go over 54c and the fan didnt turn on not even once, not even if i turn the pc on.

cpu: i5-3350p
mb: msi h61,a-e35
(dont mind that potato setup)

Did you check the fan settings in BIOS? If available, set it to be voltage controlled. Does your manual say anything about fan control if not a PWM fan?

Otherwise, you could use the SysFan header if not used or with a splitter if it is used.

The TDP on that card is pretty low so it might be that the cooler is keeping temps low enough for the fan not to kick in BUT I think the CPU fan should be running at those temps. I would go into the BIOS and look under the cpu/fan settings and enable a fan curve. Start with 30% fan at 30C and make it linear to 100% fan at 60C to see if it kicks in

Attempted to go into bios multiple times, spammed f1-f12, esc,del etc, didnt work

Is that an EFI BIOS? or do you know.

If EFI you can enter it through windows troubleshooting startup: just do a 'shift-restart' instead of a regular 'restart'.

here's a tutorial

Manual says it's the "delete" key.

at the first time boot system wiht new cooler fans should work at maximum speed, only after setting you can adjust them. as for the pins not a 3 on 4 problem just plug them in properly

finally got into settings, didnt see anything about fan curve or something. ill probs just plug it in sysfan header

Yes, make sure you plug it in so there is a spare pin on the right hand side

Temps with the new cpu are lower than with old cpu, old cpu had around 65-67c while playing games, now it doesnt go higher than 57
