Case fans stopped spinning... AGAIN

[Vryonix]

I dont know whats going on, one day my fans have stopped spinning, then after a couple hours they start again. And now, they've stopped spinning, dont know if they will start again like last time or anything.

This PC is only like 4 months old aswell

sounds like you may have a dying psu, and its allowing the mobo to let the fans not spin to keep the whole system from dying, i would try a new psu and be sure your not over heating and that your CPU is not overheating or throttled down

another uneducated guess from you. PSu has nothign to do with it unless you connect the fans directly to the PSU via SATA/Molex. Otherwise the fans are connected to the 12v line of the motherboard which power it gets from the 24pin ATX. if the PSU would be faulty then also his GPU wouldnt work.

exactly unless, the GPU pulls more power than the fans so its obvious a fan would die off before a GPU for that reason alone

where we come at the point that youc ant read and dont know what you talk about and trying to find excusses why...
the fans are connected to the motherboard if you read the entire thread. So its nto a PSU issue.

it could be if the psu is dying!

see the explanation above - fans are connected to the motherboard - so ti cant be the PSU, if it would be the PSU the OP would have completly other issues then not only fans not spinning (alld rives would be afefcted same as GPU).

I suppose its possible for the PSU to be at fault, depending on the rail design.

You can easily find out if the fans or the motherboard fan connectors are at fault by using a molex fan adapter.

Fans connected to the board would be controlled by the BIOS settings for said fans though, which has been mentioned.

the thing is there is no right or wrong here friend, im just here to help if by chance i was right what would you say then? just justify it again, it wont hurt to check the psu! for all we know the fans are dying and nothing else but dont sound right

there can be a right and wrong. I can be wrong and then unlike you I admit it.

But again I told you the only possible setup where that can eb cause by a faulty PSU and thats when the fans are connected directly through SATA or Molex to the PSU.
Hwoever that is not the case here. OP already said that in BIOS only CHA1 is reported wrongly as N/A. That means the fans are recognized in BIOS and must eb connected to the mtoherboard. In that case it can have many reasons but nto the PSU anymore. if it would be the 12v rail fo the PSU then the CPU, GPU, Drives etc. everything that needs the 12v input would not work anymore. If there is a PSU fault and it doesnt deliver enough power in which case everything wont work. There is also the chance that a port or cable of the PSU is faulty but again then everythign conncetd to ATX 24pin cable would be effected (entire motherboard with exeption of CPU and the parts that dont need 12v input like Wifi)

So you not helping by asking to replace the PSU you just do an uneducated guess that can easily be ruled out as possibel issue.

youch your an angry person no worries your always right

What's your warranty? If the hardware is failing, can you still get a refund/replacement? (probably not, most PC refund/replacement warranties are only 90 days)

In most countries warranty is 2 years even for PC's

Yah, but is that a full refund/replacement warranty? Or "we'll fix it for only the cost of labor"?

Warranties can get complicated, and what the big print giveth, the small print taketh away.

2 year warranty always apply to all defects with emotions like parts that a prone to wear and tear which does not apply here.

The seller can try to fix the issue before having to agree to a replacement. Repair has to be free within warranty. Refund has to be requested by customer and can not applied without his consent

I'll tell you this, all 4 fans are connected to a fan controller, should have mentioned earlier lol

its possible you have incompatible fans and they get enough power to run for a few and die off, try another set maybe?

f it's unresponsive, try plugging the fan into one of the chassis headers, like you did before, but first in bios, make sure that chassis fans are set to follow cpu temperature and that they are set to a 4 pin pwm fan
