Case fan malfunction?
I just completed my first computer build using this case:
http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Chassis/Produc...
This case has 2 fans in the rear, 2 on the side and one in the front. The two side fans are working, but none of the rest are.
All the fans power connectors join together to form one 3-pin connector which is connected in the correct place on my motherboard
What could be going wrong?
I tried to connect to the molex connectors, but the case fans all hooked into this 3 pin and they don't have molex style connectors on them. Would there maybe be an adapter for that somewhere in the mess of wires that came with this stuff?

Connect all the case fans directly to the PSU using the molex connectors. No connections to the mobo are needed. The only fan that needs to be connected to the mobo is the CPU fan.

1) make sure your power supply can pump out the extra juice.
2) if all the fans come together and form only 1 three pin connector thats bad... thats a terribly short amount of power flow to your fans.
3) try manually spinning the fans to see if you can jump start them.
4) if all else fails un-plug a set of fans and see if others work ( could be a short or a bad fan or such)
