Hi,

i’m not very tech savy with all this stuff but learning as i go along.

i just got this from chillblast which they built up but i chose the parts

Does anyone know why in HWMonitor PWM fans 0,1,2 show 0% are these related to the fractal fans at the front which you get with the case?

Here are some pictures

I cannot tell what's really going on by the pictures EXCEPT that the fans are indeed, clearly spinning - a very good thing.

As for HWMonitor, I can only guess the fans are not being powered via monitored motherboard fan headers.

Did Chillblast suggest using HWMonitor to monitor your fan speeds?

Well they are spinning which is good. They never mentioned what to use. Should i use the Gigabyte control command software?

Ok uploaded some pictures.

CPU 2320 RPM

CPU OPT 1094 RPM

SYSTEM 4 PUMP 922 RPM

So CPU OPT is my case fans and SYS 4 PUMP is my CPU cooler? So where is the CPU FAN that reads 2320 or does this cooler have two pump fans maybe?

But having a look at my front fan case it looks like they are plugged into SYS FAN 4

What does HWiNFO64 tells you about the fans/pump speeds?

Also you should inspect the system thoroughly and find out what is connected where if you want to get to the bottom of this
