Hi all
I am having problems with the fan of my Ninja 3 cpu cooler.
4 days ago, when I turned on the computer I found out that the CPU fan wasnt spinning (because of the "CPU Fan error" warning), and I tried to plug another fan in the CPU_FAN motherboard connector (the fan of the stock cpu cooler) and, when I started the computer it spinned, so I thought that the Ninja 3 fan was wrong and I decided to take it to the store where I bought it in order to get it replaced.
But next day, I turned on the computer and the fan was spinning at the correct RPM :S so I didnt take it to the store, and the next 2 days it worked too (yesterday I didnt use the computer), but today I started the computer and I got the "cpu fan error" warning again...
And here is my doubt:
today I have tried to plug the fan in another connector of the motherboard instead of the CPU_Fan one, and it worked :s and it seemed to me (because of the noise) that it was spinning faster than normal, and I found in the motherboard user guide that the connector in which I plugged the fan(CHA_FAN2) is a 12V one (I dont know if this is too much voltage, because it doesnt say the CPU_fan connector's voltage but I thought that the normal voltage for a fan was 5V, that would explain the higher speed I think, sorry for my ignorance)
here is the page of the motherboards manual with the information of the different fan connectors:
Please help, Why does the fan spin when pluged in to the CHA_Fan connector but not in the CPU_Fan one? Can I use the computer with the fan connected to the cha_fan connector? For what I said, do you think that it is the cooler fan what is broken, or it can be the motherboard's cpu_fan connector? and why did the fan just stop spinning after 1 year of working properly? :S
thank you, and sorry for my english (Im spanish)
