I recently bought a Antec True Quiet 120mm case fan, have it mounted in the back of my computer, but the problem is I connected the "3pin prong" to the 3 pin connector on my motherboard and it does not seem to work at all, there is no power being generated to the fan, so I tried re-installing the old fan and the same issue occurred,I don't know if I'm inserting the cable in wrong or maybe the connector on the motherboard is faulty, I have not had a problem before this issue as I have removed my fan and connected it back again before
I connect the case fan to the "Cha port" on my motherboard but it is not supplying power to the fan and I checked the bios and it reported the "Cha Fan" slot as "N/A". Thanks for the support!

Solution
Try clearing the BIOS by resetting the CMOS and see if that works. Also check the port on the mobo/fan to see if there is something(like dust) blocking the electricity from the plugs.
Hello... your MB fan connectors need a typical 4 wire PWM or 3 wire fan ( +/gnd/tach ) for connection. It is not clear from that product page what you have got there... it seems it is just a 2 wire fan with a Two speed switch and no TACH wire. And would not be suitable for a MB connection that has a TACH input pin.
