Hi
I bought 3 Noctua NF-F12 3000 PWM fans only a few days ago which are all plugged into CHA_FAN headers on my motherboard, and have been working fine since I installed them.
But when I turned my PC on today, I noticed one wasn't spinning. I checked the BIOS and it says N/A for that fan header, so it's not even detecting it. I tried plugging it into different headers but still nothing.
This probably doesn't matter - but that particular fan was connected via a Noctua SEC-1 PWM extension cable. But even without the extension cable it still doesn't work anymore.
I find it hard to believe it's broken after only 2 days of use... especially a Noctua industrial fan that are designed to last for years. Could anybody shed some light on what could've happened here? Did the motor really just die?
