| 664935 | 2008-05-02 06:16:00 | The mid section fan appears to not be working in my tj09 case. www.barrys-rigs-n-reviews.com As you can see from the image, it has a molex connector (which i've connected to the psu, along with a 3 pin/1 wire fan connector. I've tried connecting the 3 pin to the pins labelled pwr_fan and sys_fan2 on my motherboard and neither of them make the fan work. Do i have a faulty fan? Or have i done something wrong? Thanks |

| 664936 | 2008-05-02 06:26:00 | Hmm there isnt an option in the BIOS that can turn them on is there? Usually the fan has a 3 pin on it which connects to the header on the mobo. Either that, or if its got a molex adapter it goes to a spare molex connector from the PSU I cant really figure out what you connected the fan to. Did u connect it to the molex somehow or straight to the header on the mobo?? |

| 664937 | 2008-05-02 06:31:00 | From what I can tell by looking at the picture it looks like the Molex is for the power for the fan and the 3-pin connector is for the sensor so the mainboard bios or software can tell you how fast the fan is spinning. Sounds like you might have a faulty fan. |

| 664938 | 2008-05-02 11:51:00 | Well molex is plugged in definitely...just not sure where the yellow one goes...i've tried plugging it in 2 spots, both times the fan doesn't spin. I'm pretty sure the fan should spin as soon as power is supplied? meaning i shouldn't need to change any settings in the bios...should i? | EviLClouD (12981) | ||
| 664939 | 2008-05-03 10:37:00 | Ok well i've found out now that it works...but only after moving the molex cable. If it's in certain positions then the fan will just stop spinning...is this normal? Bad power cable? Bad fan? Thanks |

| 664940 | 2008-05-04 00:17:00 | Here's a video on it. www.youtube.com It starts off with the fan 'off', when i move that wire towards me then the fan spins...moving it back causes it to turn off again. |

| 664941 | 2008-05-04 00:25:00 | sound's like a broken strand in the wire common on all electrical appliances | gary67 (56) | ||
| 664942 | 2008-05-04 10:49:00 | Which wire though? PSU or fan? Cheers |

| 664943 | 2008-05-04 12:42:00 | Plug the fan into a different cable from your PSU and see if it still does it. if so, then it's the fan. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 664944 | 2008-05-05 07:23:00 | Lol cheers Agent_24...tried a different cable (don't know why i didn't try that first xD) and it works...pulled the cable out and guess what? A pin has been pushed in, therefore breaking/lowering the connection. Thanks for all your help |
