Hello, I recently installed a Cooler Master 212 Hyper Plus onto my CPU and it works great. I have 4 fans in my case not counting the psu. The coolermaster cpu fan, the gpu fan, the back case fan and the front case fan. When I pull up a fan monitor it shows only 2 fans running, the cpu and gpu fans. Is this normal?

If the fans are turning, connected to the motherboard header and have 3 or more wires, either they are setup in bios for those fans headers not to monitored or monitoring not working correctly in that bios version or the software you are using cannot detect them, try using http://www.cpuid.com/downloads/hwmonitor/1.20-setup.exe

If the fans are connected using the large molex power cable, they will never get detected and are running at full speed.
