    RENAMED: Chassis Fan / PSU Fan issues

    First of all, thanks again for all your suggestions and information. I tested the PSU with an ATX Power Supply Tester, and everything checks out. All voltages and connectors are fine; it's just the one header on the mobo that still won't spin a fan. As a result of all this poking and...

    RENAMED: Chassis Fan / PSU Fan issues

    When the CPU temp climbs above 60 celsius, the header voltage goes up as high as 4.7 volts, but that's not much of an increase. At high temps, it still doesn't spin a fan. I mis-stated myself earlier (and I have edited my earlier post to correct it) - all the fans are 12 volts; the...

    RENAMED: Chassis Fan / PSU Fan issues

    Alright, this may be the beginning of an impending power supply failure. The two fans (one 40mm, one 60mm, from the looks of them) inside the PSU itself are both rated at 12 volts, but one of the connectors inside the PSU is only giving 8.8 folts, and the other is only giving 4.8 volts. The...

    RENAMED: Chassis Fan / PSU Fan issues

    I can't find my mobo's limits in the manual or on the website, but the fan that was connected is rated at 0.38 amps, 12 volts, 4.6W. My multimeter reads 4.4V off of the mobo connector, so maybe the voltage is too low for the original fan; but the new fan, which also doesn't work off the mobo...

    RENAMED: Chassis Fan / PSU Fan issues

    Checked that; the BIOS doesn't seem to allow me to enable or disable control of the chassis fan, though it does let me choose whether to monitor it. I've connected the fan directly to the PSU so the system still stays cool; I guess the connector's gone bad.

    RENAMED: Chassis Fan / PSU Fan issues

    I'm having a problem with a chassis fan; if it's connected to the 3-pin header on the motherboard, it never spins anymore, even when the CPU temperature escalates. If I connect the fan directly to the PSU, it works fine. If I connect a brand new fan to the motherboard, it also fails to spin...
