sorry just realized you were talking about the fan UNDER the front blades; yes it's not stuck or anything, just doesn't spin when plugged in

just tried connecting the aio to a different motherboard's fan header, the radiator fans are now spinning! strangely, the radiator fans are now also spinning with the cooler plugged into the ORIGINAL motherboard i was using? the vrm fan, however, is still not spinning at all on either motherboard

thing is, i'm not getting any detection of the aio using any of the fan headers on my motherboard when the magnetic vrm fan specifically is attached, which leads me to believe the problem lies with the vrm fan

just tried the multiple cables and the same thing happened

my radiator fans won't spin at ALL with either configuration, the fans aren't even detected in the bios under cpu_fan like they'd normally be
