If you are handy with a soldering iron, go ahead and solder it to the correct wires going to the Molex connectors.

The fan will run (at full speed) with just two wires connected. When you scrape away the insulation to do the soldering, STAGGER the connections so that there is less of a probability of shorting out the leads.

Doing so will make the fan run continuously and at full rated RPM (speed). I did this when I added an extra rear exhaust fan to one of my desktops. Works fine and good luck!

You can also try looking for 3-pin fan headers on the motherboard. Most motherboards have these headers. Plug it into one that says "SYS_FAN" or "CHS_FAN"

If required enable and control the speed of the fan by settings in the BIOS

As you are aware, all computers must get a feedback signal ensuring that the CPU heatsink fan is working. This tells the motherboard that the CPU temps will not exceed design specs.

Obviously, in your case (Hyper 212) the heatsink is not working to specs. - the easiest thing to do is to unplug and plug back in the heatsink fan from the CPU_FAN header on the motherboard. Start the computer and see whether it boots and works.

If the computer still does not work, then uninstall the heatsink and test the fan for rotation by directly plugging it to the Power Supply. If the fan does not run at full speed (high RPM) then the fan is defective. Replace the fan and/or the heatsink.

Let me know the results. (In case the moderator closes this thread, please start a new thread with the new subject).
