Case Fans not Spinning

Hello, here's the problem

 

I was watching youtube yesterday morning when I suddenly noticed my case fan at the back stopped spinning, I checked CPUID HWMonitor and the PWM fans were at  0% 0% 99%, I also checked the BIOS and the case fans were N/A.

 

I haven't checked the back side for the fan hub.

 

On a related topic, my fans RGB sometimes flickers, fade or downright turns off, I figured it might be from running UEBS because thats when it started flickering after running it but that was a few months back.

 

My fans: InPlay DF-12 Ice tower 120mm 
Yes, my fans are relatively cheap and the manufacturer doesnt have any websites

 

I figured I get advise from you guys here before I bring it to the folks who built the PC because it might be just a loose wire or something.

My Specs:
AMD Ryzen 3 3100 with stock cooler
Biostar B450M Motherboard
ASRock RX570 4GB
8 GB 2666Mhz Ram
500 GB HDD
InPlay GS450 Pro 450 watt Bronze PSU

Welcome to the forums!!!

 

So is your fans connected to the provided fan hub that comes with the fans or are they all connected to one header? If they are all connected to one header, then software will only report one fan speed as the others will be blank as there is no fan connected. If they are not, try placing the fan that is working at 99 on another header. If so, then the fans are dead.

Thank you for the reply!

Yes, all the fans are connected to the single fan hub. Not a single one of my 4 fans are spinning though, I wonder why the software picks up 99% on one of the fans

Seems like the hub is dead/defective if no fans are spinning and reporting the wrong speed. Don't think there is a lot to do there, only buy new fans.

That's very strange. I don't have an explanation for that or what can be causing that.

It turned off again this evening when I left it on at the lockscreen for a while and returned to find it off, guess I should bring it up to the guys who made it.

For sure, contact them and explain what is going on, they might be able to send you new fans/hub to replace this one as it appears they are defective.

Do you think its some loose/faulty wiring or something related to power? It's really frustrating and my temps reach 60-70* celsius while online class. etc

That's actually a good idea that I didn't think about (assuming everything is fully seated and properly connected). Check your connections just to rule out its not a loose connection. 

 

For the time being, removing the side panel to drop temperatures until you get new replacement fans or a new airflow case.

It might really be just some wires because my really young nephew a while ago swung his arm hard enough to violently move the pc at an angle and my table can have some pretty bad vibrations from the things I put down on it. Plus I didn't have the time to open the back side panel and check the hub itself. 

And thanks for the advise on removing the side panel, I noticed that the tempered glass gets hot like I'm playing a heavy game when in reality I'm just using chrome.
