"Hi guys, I have purchased a PCSpecialist computer directly from Currys which is this one here:
https://www.currys.co.uk/products/pcspecialist-tornado-r3-gaming-pc-amd-ryzen-3-gtx-1650-512-gb-ssd-10239561.html?searchTerm=PCspec

The front 3 fans don't spin (but the rgb lights do turn on). The computer doesn't overheat, and the fan inside and the fan at the back are spinning just fine.

Looking at the motherboard, do you guys think the front 3 fans should be spinning? I really don't feel confident enough to open up the case and plug in the 3 fans if I need to, but I just wanted to be sure if they should be plugged in looking at the motherboard that comes with it?"

sheenuk, you will be able to post links once youve levelled a little (its an anti-spam mesaure)

my 3 front case fans were all daisy chained together. if i was you i would open it up, trace the cables from the fan and make sure they are all connected securely. if not, we can help you out here. however i cant remember if PCS frostflow fans had separate cables for rgb.

I really don't feel comfortable with messing about inside the PC, and with everything all cable tied up, I worry that I would mess something up.

i know it’s very scary. i only got my first and only pc last year. i’ve since changed my fans by myself. honestly it’s hard to mess up. you don’t necessarily have to do anything, if you open the back of the case and trace the cables to the connections just to look as see if everything is secured properly. it would help to diagnose an issue if you needed official support.
i understand how daunting it can be but if you’re running heavy games, you will need that cooling. it’s quite important.
