Hi Everyone,
I just completed a new PC build. Oddly enough, it was able to get to POST and boot. Linux Mint is installed on the drive, but there’s one problem…
The fans don’t work. Neither the ones that came with the case nor the ones that came with the CPU cooler.
Motherboard: MSI X670e Plus Gaming CPU Cooler: Noctua DH-15 CPU: Ryzen 5 7600X GPU: Radeon RX 7800 RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR5 (Will look up specific model at home, can’t remember atm)
I have tried updating the BIOS, which did not change anything. Double checked all the connections, none seem to be connected incorrectly…?
Tried setting all the fans to PCM instead of DC… Still nothing.
What should I try now? I don’t want to damage the system by running without cooling.
Directly to the motherboard
In that case, I’d be inclined to agree with Rimu about it being PSU related. I’d recommend carefully inspecting your 24 pin power cable and motherboard plug to see if any of the pins are damaged. Also, if you can, try and give each individual wire a little tug. Sometimes the pin isn’t locked in properly and when you plug the cable in, the individual pin will get pushed out.
