    Intermittent front fan issue

    Invoice number E1491784

    It seems the front fan on my unit is faulty

    When i boot it up the back and front fans come straight on
    the cpu fan takes a couple of seconds to kick in

    Then after about 20 seconds the front fan stops
    then every few seconds it attempts to turn but wont

    as in the title, this is intermittent
    sometimes i can power on and all the fans stay on
    but half the time the front one stops

    Now i have unplugged the fan and put it back in
    but it is still intermittent


    I did not get a power cable in with my unit
    so i have had to take one from an old computer.
    The only mod i have made so far is installing an Emu 1616m Pci-e card

    I have not checked the wiring coming out of the fan as i dont want to break anything

    Hi,

    Could you tell me if it's plugged into a molex connector coming stright off the psu or is it plugged into the motherboard itself?

    Thanks.
