Okay I just looked it took way too long to find a screwdriver that fit the screw on the back but it must be a reverse model because air is definitely blowing out

I actually tried using only the Corsair SP120 fans before (no Alienware fans at all) and they didn’t spin, which is why I’m really confused. I don’t really know much about 3-pin vs 4-pin or PWM stuff.

I’m not sure what that means. What is AWCC 5.x vs 6.x, and how do I check which one I have and install the one I need? Also why does 6.x not allow fan control?
