Hello My name is Moosay . I just finished my first build in the Nzxt tempest 410 elite and when trying to turn it on the top fan spins but the bottom front fan doesn't. I plugged the the fan header into the motherboard but it still doesn't spin any ideas?

use an adapter to connect to a molex plug from the power supply

alternatively if its a 4 pin connector on the fan and mb it might turn on automatically when the computer is a little hotter , but this is less likely

you sure you plugged it into the pins marked sys_fan

also you may have to turn it on via computer

Ok, I plugged it into the molex plug from the power supply but its still not spinning. Also what's this about having to turn it on through the computer, do I have to do that in the bios?

no well if the mollux plug does not work you have a defective fan you should take it back asap and get it replaced(if it is still under the warranty)
