What's going on there? The two fans that came with the case don't spin. (My bequiet Dark Rock 2 spins.) Can somebody help me?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks.

What will it hurt to double check the connections? 

 

Have you tried swapping the plugs they are in with the ones your working fans are?

I just checked and they are plugged in.  The working fan (I only have 3 fans in my system to keep it quiet) is a 4 pin so i can't do that.

They are 3 pin. They aren't plugged into the motherboard the Define r4 has a built in fan controller.

Are there any cables blocking the fan from spinning?

Umm I had this problem found out that the fan connector on the actual front I/O of the case, came out, simply plugged it back in, can't take out the front face of the case too far, otherwise something comes out. Check that if! Hope this helps :D

I have had issues with the 2 R4 cases I have related to the front panel loosening and unplugging the fan controller. Check to see that the fan controller is plugged in at the top under the USB ports.
