you can try a different fan header

what id do is try a different header, clean your pc and hope that gives you enough time to finish your school work and get a new set of fans in

just make sure the cable doesnt hit the CPU fan

stoic hearth May 25, 2023, 4:53 PM

#

okay

#

so that header it was connected in is faulty?

placid sparrow May 25, 2023, 4:59 PM

#

or it could just not have been seated correctly
