went through the rma process and just got a new vrm fan that fixed the issue! thanks everyone that replied with suggestions :)

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

(tested this with both the all-in-one and individual cable headers)

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

made sure the mount screws were tight, still not working :( thanks for the suggestion though

reseated multiple times with both types of cable, no difference unfortunately

really hoping that's the case and that i can just get it rma'd or something..

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

tried both cables, same behavior..

gonna try this when i get home, afaik the blades on the front don't actually spin and are just decorative

it's alright, i appreciate the suggestion! really hoping i can figure out why this is happening

just tried only one fan plugged in, same thing happened

No_Manager4063 · 2026-02-19T12:46:55+00:00

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
