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.
It could be your PSU - https://www.reddit.com/r/MSI_Gaming/comments/17cyaj7/msi_x670e_tomahawk_fans_not_spinning/. If you have a multimeter you could check if the voltages on the PSU outputs are Ok.
I really hope that this isn’t the root cause, as it is also a new PSU… But I could just send it back and get a different one. I don’t have a multimeter. Do you have a recommendation for one that isn’t too cheap but not break the bank expensive?
