Everyone stopped spinning and the BIOS shows N/A for the motherboard. Your 4.5-year-old system still boots but the fans aren’t working at all, with no chassis or CPU fans listed as active. The AIO pump stopped working after a week off. This sounds like a hardware problem—possibly a faulty motherboard or power issue. It might be worth checking the BIOS settings for any warnings and considering a replacement if the core components are suspect. Upgrading entirely could be an option, especially since your CPU is outdated.

Consider switching the fans to other headers in the MOBO to check if they're working. Also, try resetting the BIOS settings back to their default state. The device is about 4.5 years old, so it might be worth upgrading to a newer or used model with better hardware.

I own seven fans in total plus an air pump, but none are functioning. A few fans with lights are operational. They’re all connected to a PWM hub, yet the pump and some non-hub fans aren’t working either. It looks like a motherboard problem.

Overloading PWM headers is feasible. Understanding how AIO and AIO fans are linked helps. If no RPM signal appears, it may indicate an issue similar to a Z370 board. E, F, or H—have you experimented with a single fan on another header? You should have a pump and AIO header installed. Have you tried both options for the pump?

I can rearrange them as needed. They’ve worked well in the RAM hub setup across most PCs throughout their lifespan without any problems.

keep them on the fan hub as they receive power straight from the SATA power plug. only the ones not linked to the hub and not spinning should be checked on a different PWM header.

I managed to get it running. It seems the CPU fan connector might be faulty, but as long as anything is connected, the fans don’t operate. I relocated the controller to another pin and switched the SATA power from the PSU.

It seems performance is getting less impressive over time. If things become too busy, they might fail. I favor controllers that just interpret signals and handle SATA power for fans and RGB lighting.
