When I plug fans into the CHA_FAN connectors on my Asus m5a97 r2.0, they don't spin and they aren't recognized in the BIOS settings, AI Suite, Speedfan, etc. I've tried a couple different fans, which both work when plugged into CPU_FAN.

Is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing, or is it truly a defect in the motherboard?
 
Solution
If the fans are good, I'd assume that there is a problem with the MB. You can plug the fans directly into the PSU but the CPU cooler fan needs to be installed into correct header on the MB.
