Three of my PC fans stopped working—any ideas why?
Asked by

I've got a bit of a problem with my PC: three out of six fans have suddenly stopped working, and I'm not sure why. I'm not very tech-savvy, so any help would really mean a lot. I'm including some pictures to give you a better idea of the situation.

Did all three fans stop working at the same time? Check if your AIO is in 'zero RPM' mode, which means the fans won't spin until the CPU reaches a certain temp. Also, have there been any updates that might've changed your fan settings? Make sure to verify that all the AIO connections to the motherboard are solid, and that the PSU is properly powered. If it turns out to be a hardware issue, the splitter might have failed, but they’re easy to replace!

It's tough to diagnose just from the photo. Are those three fans connected in a line? If they are daisy-chained or hooked up to the same splitter, maybe that cable got loose or the connection at the back is faulty.

Did you change or touch anything in your setup recently? Sometimes a small change can affect the fans unexpectedly.
