|
|
Idk if u guys might know this.
I'm using this case:
Enermax ECA3162 Phoenix Neo, red
And the outside left big fan doesn't work(redlighted in the pic).
When I turn the fan on on its fastest it will just go to the right and left a bit swinging like it's very tired.
Anyone knows how to fix it or what's the problem? (I built this pc all by myself, and it was the first time didn't even expect the PC going on properly but it did work all properly after all.)
And anyone knows this software which u can check the temperature of ur hardware and that stuff?
Thanks in advance~~!

if the fan is plugged in the mobo, check the fan readings in the mobo or hwmonitor. also try another fan plug and check if your computer is getting enough power from wherever its plugged in.

An RMA is basically a return and replace policy. You get an RMA number and return the item to them (usually with the RMA number written on the box somewhere), then they'll send out a replacement.

I think it rotates faster when it starts to get hot inside or something.
Since its trying to rotate more than 1h ago..

Like a previous poster said, it's most likely a busted bearing. Bearings are required to allow the fan to rotate smoothly. If any are damaged it could cause what you are describing.
