I have 7 Gentle Typhoon 1850rpm fans connected to a Sunbeam PL-RS-3 Rheosmart 3 Fan Controller 3.5" Bay 3 Channel 30W Fan Controller. Each channel of the controller runs to a 3 pin splitter board (like this).
2 fans are connect to 2 of the boards, the 3rd board has all 3 slots filled for 3 fans on my radiator. (so its 2 fans, 2 fans, and 3 fans, that are connected to each of the 3 splitters)
One of the fans that is on the splitter thats full that doesnt start up. When I turn on my pc all other fans start running normally except for this one, switching it with other pin slots on the splitter (where working fans ran fine) doesnt fix the problem. Note I did not plug back in the 3rd fan so only 2 fans were connected to the splitter (including the bad fan) when i was testing it with other pins.
Only when i tap the fan in the direction it should spin does it immediately pick up speed and then run as normal.
Is this an issue with power, the fan, or something else?
Please let me know if there is any other facts you need.
