Hey, I tried to boot my PC today and got a CPU fan error. After checking the connection and reseating it, the fan isn’t spinning, even though it worked when I assembled the system. The whole thing has been running smoothly for about four months now, but it just failed suddenly. Any fixes besides replacing the fan? Thanks ahead!

I would attempt connecting the fan to one of the chassis fan ports; if it still doesn't rotate, replacement is necessary.

It seems the motor isn't working, maybe the fan is damaged.
