Hey guys.. my first post here :)
I'm having a little issue here..
Today I bought a fan, didn't think too much about it even though I should've, but yeah, it was like 4$ so who cares.
It's a brand called "Gembird".
It's a 90mm / 9cm fan and it has a 3-pin connector, and I thought that wouldn't be a problem. But oh boy was I wrong.
My MOBO is ASUS PRIME A320M-K, and per ASUS's official website, this mobo does support both 3 and 4 pin air coolers, with or without PWM.
Things I've tried:
Tried it on the fan header, doesn't give any signs of life. Tried switching PWM on or off, didn't do anything either.
Disconnected my (fully functioning, healthy) CPU fan (4 pin, PWM on), and connected it to the fan header, doesn't give any signs of life either.
The pins are not bent, and the whole machine will be cleaned in a few days.
Looking for any mobo specific solutions online, didn't find much if anything.
I've got no idea what else to try, and I don't wanna go and buy another 4-pin air cooler (thinking logically if my CPU fan didn't work on it, and it's a 4 pin, why would any other fan work)
Please help, any suggestions are welcome.
I attached a pic of the header, just as reassurance.
Thank youu!
