Recently i bought a case fan for my PC because while i game for 2-3 it heats up.
I installed it into a empty slot and connected the 4 pin connector to 1 of my 2 motherboard "slots".
After i connected it i turned on my PC and checked speedfan.
It only said that my CPU and GPU fans are spinning and when i looked into the case the fan wasnt spinning.
Any ideas why?

Very hard to give a recommendation w/o identifying the MoBo, fan and what specific header it was connected to.

Speedfan is a utility that serves when the MoBo utility / BIOS control is unavailable ... a quite rare occurrence in this era. Check your BIOS / MoBo Manual is the only generic advice I can give w/o knowing components in question

Same as JackNaylorPE, it is hard to tell the issue without knowing the MoBo. If you weren't too set on using third party software that tracks the fan usage, you could always plug the fan directly into the PSU through the cords that have the numerous 4-pin molex connectors on them. If the fan uses a different pin orientation, you can always buy adapters to convert the 4-pin to maybe 3-pin fan connectors.
