I built this computer about a week ago and about an hour ago the rear chassis fan randomly stopped spinning I shut it down and checked if it was in tightly,it seemed to be so I restarted and it is spinning now?
I have noticed my PC is also quite loud even tough all of the components are relatively new:
Mobo:Asus Maximus VI
Case:Corsair Graphite 230t
CPU cooler:Cooler Mater hyper 212 evo
cpu: Intel i7 4770k
It could be nothing but I downloaded speedfan and here are its readings...(coretemp aswell)

Use HWMonitor to watch your temperaturs. If your fans are running fast you may have a heating problem. What temperatures do you read while gaming and idle?

If you don't have the latest BIOS version you can also try to flash your BIOS to the newest since fan controls often are being tweaked throughout different BIOS versions.

The fan stopping could be PSU related? Is it plugged to the motherboard or directly to the PSU? ... Or maybe it was just a lose connection.

Your readings are fine. If your rear fan continues to be intermittent, replace. Stopping after a period of time generally indicates a bad bearing that is heating up and causing additional friction. When it gets overtemp, it freezes. You shut down the rig, the bearing cools and everything works as usual. Fans are cheap - don't risk a system issue for $20.
