NZXT Sentry 3 problems

So, I wasn't sure where to post this at, air cooling or water cooling, so I posted it in both.  Basically, I have 3 fans on my radiator, it is the Deepcool Gamerstorm 360 AIO.  The fans are the ones that came with it and they are all 4 pin fans.  I have them on channel 2 of my sentry 3 and after about 5 minutes of the system running, it starts beeping and says that channel 2 has lost connection and the fans ramp up to full speed.  What could be causing this, ive tried about 3 different fan hubs/splitters and I keep having the same problem.

Start using the fans without the splitters and use the "link" feature and see if any fans fail. We can start problem solving by finding a problem one at a time, ok?

Slick:

I don't care if you are right or wrong... someone will come around and correct you if you are wrong. What people need to realize is that we need to step up as a community and get above the pathetic fights and bickering. Share knowledge, be friendly, enjoy your stay.

He also forgot to mention if you dont know about the topic then dont make stuff up. Dont claim fake or assume things just by reading the title, Read the post. It doesnt matter if you made 3,000 as it could be mostly crap...

try this leave it off for 20-30mins then turn pc on with fans if they are speed/pwm controlled at first then they go to 100% then either its defective or you  too many  amps per channel or too many wattage per channel . if so just try one if that doesnt work its broken i had the nzxt version the dual bay one and it fried from putting 2 sp120 on 1 channel

I think I figured it out, I turned the fan power up to 50% and it hasn't done it so far. I think the fans just werent getting enough power.
