Case fan acting weird

[nitrosheep]

So since I built my pc yesterday, my front bottom case fan has been acting up. The other two were fine, and they’re all daisy chained. It was off up until today, when my dad hit it a little to see if it would work, which it did. But then it started flickering and eventually it became significantly dimmer, which was fixed easily by hitting it again… until that didn’t fix it either. I need help. Edit: forgot to mention it is spinning normally, this is just the argb acting up.

check the connectors

Or maybe you put too many fans on one header ?

Same issue sadly even after putting it in a diff header, looks like this. Should I just replace the fan?

If possible, yes

After some checking, I don’t think I can get it out. I don’t wanna replace the whole case because it was impossible to put in everything and do what little cable management I did, and I don’t want to do it again. Should I just leave it as is? It’s only the argb. It looks ugly but that’s the only issue.

If that's the only issue, then yes I suppose it is up to you. Just keep in mind the issue may get worse over time, or it also may not, no real way of knowing.

How's that ? I mean it takes me 5 minutes to swap a fan, 4 screws and a couple header to unplug?

Can’t remove the fan, there’s no way to get the front off and the screws are near impossible to unscrew.

Case came with fans already installed ? And front panel isn't openable ? Bwaah bad case

What case is it? They managed to put the fans in, so you should be able to get them out.
