I have an issue with my bottom intake fan that came with the case, it just stopped working after I adjusted the fan curves in bios, all my other fans work fine. I don't have my fans spin until 30 degrees, and this specific fan doesn't spin at all even at high temps. I went back into the bios and I would switch it to PWM, voltage, or auto and after a restart the fan would start working normally. But whenever I shut down my PC and start it up again without touching the fans the bottom one doesn't work, it begins to stall I guess, how do I fix this?
