    Hi Folks

    As some of you may know I have recently completed my first time build, which is not that bad for any other first timers out there.....Research is THE word....

    Anywho My PC is fine and nice and chilly now ( had 100C temps earlier in the game) but I am having a small issue but it is wrecking my head.

    Basically for some reason I am unable to get my rear fan that came with my Cooler Master Storm Scout to spin for love nor money. It worked before, and then I had to undo all my work to remount the heatsink, put it all together again as before and the rear fan no longer works......

    It is all hooked up within the casing and uses molex connectors via the PSU to run the fans. I tried disconnecting the 3 pin rear fan connection and plugging it into the mobo "sysfan" points and still nothing....

    Anyone got any thoughts on this, it is bugging the B'jesus out of me!! :)

    Thanks all

    John

    It might just be a poor connector. You absolutely sure the correct molex plugs are going to the right connectors?

    If it still doesn't work, do not sweat it. It is not an essential fan, and it doesn't actually matter much (I ran with it off for a while because I was missing a molex>3pin adaptor to plug it into my Fan controller).
