I included the two fans with the cooler and the y splitter in the CPU fan socket. Only one fan is spinning, located outside the fins, while the other remains off despite placement in between the fins. I also tried switching one fan to CPU_opt and the other to CPU_fan, but it didn’t help. I even flipped them around, yet the issue persists. In my first post, a CPU fan error appeared. I assumed a BIOS update was needed since the motherboard is an ASUS Prime B550M-A Wi-Fi II. After updating, the error disappeared but the fan still doesn’t work. Is the fan defective or did I install it incorrectly?

If it doesn't spin even when you remove it from the cooler then you have gotten a faulty fan unfortunately. It happens sometimes and not much to do about it but send the cooler back or apply for warranty. Good news is that the peerless can run with one fan no problem

It has been helping to lower the temperature of my Ryzen 5 5600X, staying near 37°C during games. I think applying for a warranty would let me use it at its best.

The 5600x handles cooling well and the extra fan likely won’t make a big difference. Still, it’s wise to swap the fan during its warranty period. Be sure to mention a post or tag someone when responding, so they’re alerted to your reply.
