Hey there, I just wrapped up a new build and everything seems to be functioning well except for the radiator fans (top ones visible in the photo). They don’t spin properly even though power is being supplied and they’re making a faint clicking sound. The pump is operating correctly, but not the fans. I’ve checked several things: SATA plugged in, pump connected to USB 2.0, pump linked to CPU_FAN with proper orientation, and all splitter cables from the three fans are intact. I’ve tried adjusting fan speed through CAM software, but it hasn’t helped. The pump and my other two fans are working fine, just not the top ones. Any advice or help would be appreciated.

The issue has been resolved. The splitter cable wasn't being detected by the pump or the software, which was causing the problems. The straightforward fix is to connect each necessary fan individually into the four-pin slots on your motherboard—they're now spinning and recognized by the system.
