DWolvin Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Hi all, Just swapped my old power supply for a new Toughpower 750, and upon rebooting the system after routing everything I booted the sytem with slightly crossed fingers (first watercooled system). Anyway, it gave me the oh-so-polite beepcode for ‘plug in the video card, idiot’ and shut down. After correcting my silliness I booted into Windows and everything looked good. That is, until I noticed that the Riing 14’s were lit, but not spinning. All other case fans and the pump are good to go, just the pair of Riings. I have swapped power to a different pair of fans and confirmed that other fans run fine, just louder and without the light. (sad panda time) Any ideas for recovery? TL:DR- fans light up, don’t spin, power good. Any smart fixes? Oh- that's the old power supply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThermalMike Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 How do you have the fans connected to the system, through motherboard or direct to PSU? What happens if you connect the fan directly to the motherboards pin header? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWolvin Posted December 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 They were connected through a three position fan controller, along with a third fan. Other fans still good and the Riing's have been tested with direct connect to the power supply (molex to fan cable, tests good with other fans). The fan controller is a built-in from Fractal (Define XL 2 case), and I think it has been killed also, I just found when rechecking that it runs full power and 5vdc, but not 7vdc.

ThermalMike Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Hi, Please help me to verify, as I dont fully understand your reply. The fans do not work with direct connection to the PSU using a molex adapter? "the Riing's have been tested with direct connect to the power supply (molex to fan cable, tests good with other fans)." I would suggest to check that fan hub and replace the fans in this case. Connection to Mobo does same thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWolvin Posted December 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Sorry, typing tired makes for poor communication... I have tried the fans connected directly to the power supply, with just a molex to fan converter (known good), other fans run on this cable setup, but the two riings light up but do not spin. I just tried a spare mobo connector, same thing. What's baffling me is that they both died at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
