Hi, I have the NZXT Phantom case and I have a strange problem. It has occurred in the past, and just started again today.

Randomly, the rear case fan stops spinning, and changes its direction. So it will spin at the highest speed (which I have all fans set to), and then it will stop, reverse its spinning direction, stop, spin the normal way, stop, spin in reverse, stop, and spin in the normal direction.

Furthermore, the light on top of the tower which designates the rear fan will blink every time the fan stops.

Has anyone heard of this issue before??? When I set the speed to low, it spins completely normal, but at a lower speed.

However, randomly, the fan will spin one direction, stop, spin the other direction, stop, spin the normal direction, and so on (high speed). Eventually, it will just return to its normal state and just spin at the high speed, but it is extremely odd.

Lemme know if anyone has any insight.

 
The motherboard I have is the ASUS P8Z77-V Pro and my PSU is the Coolermaster Silent ProM 1000W 80+Bronze.

It is odd because it happens randomly, like last night it happened. After being on my PC for a couple hours today, it hasn't happened once. However, when it does happen again, I will post a video. Thank you for your reply.
