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?
