Is it dead, even if its spinning after the push? Though slower than it should have?If the fan doesn't spin regardless of which header you've put it on it is dead. sorry get in touch with fractal and they'll likely send you a new fan especially if this is a new case and new fans and one is dead.
Wow, sounds good. What did it cost?Trying to catch up on the thread, and I just have to say this: a lot of you folks spend a ton of money on a good PC build, but no nearly enough on a quality office chair.
Spend the money on a Herman Miller Aeron or similar. Your future self will thank you.
I developed back problems related to posture which was mostly related to a crappy office chair. Thus far I have paid far more in medical expenses than what it would have costed me to get a proper chair.
A proper chair should provide full support when you are in the correct posture.
If I have time later, I will post links detailing posture and stuff. I am on mobile right now, too lazy to switch/copy/paste.
I agree, but off-brand can give good support as well. I maybe spend 4-10h in my home office chair and 30h in front of my computer at work, so I think I know which chair is most importantTrying to catch up on the thread, and I just have to say this: a lot of you folks spend a ton of money on a good PC build, but no nearly enough on a quality office chair.

Its in the sig, like the rest of the gear?But how do you know what people have for chairs?
under its own power or through your finger flick? if the first it's on its way to death. yes it happens to new fans too. cheer up mate, it gives you an excuse to shop for more stuff!Is it dead, even if its spinning after the push? Though slower than it should have?
I have one more, there were 3 in the package, though i had a place only for 2, so perhaps i try to replace it - its annoyance though. The case is incredibly heavy, difficult to manipulate, i will need to place it on the side to access the bottom. Not looking forward to it. Oh well.
Thanks! I replaced it with the other spare fan and that one works fine - so yeah, it was probably faulty.under its own power or through your finger flick? if the first it's on its way to death. yes it happens to new fans too. cheer up mate, it gives you an excuse to shop for more stuff!
Put a password on it unless you want your kids frying your CPUYour computer is on, it is showing a sub menu in your bios, you know your three year old has been playing with the computer, should you be afraid or is it a new one of us joining the ranks?
Graphics driver issue probably. Try DDU to uninstall completely and try installing the latest driver.The other problem I’ve encountered is that sometimes I exit a game, my windows can only maximize to the top quarter of the screen, and I can’t drag them larger. I can move the curser everywhere, but all windows and programs maximize to the top quarter of the screen until I reboot the system.
as i said if the fans were new contact fractal they'll either ask you to send it in or show proof you destroyed it and they'll send a new one. fractal fans are quite good so this is very surprising to hear they've failed before poweron properly.Thanks!

I wasted so much money already on this build, i really cant shop for more stuff for some time
Used Aeron C's are $400-550 around here. I have two and they are wonderful.Wow, sounds good. What did it cost?
I bought Startallback so I could get my taskbar and start menu as I want it.Used Aeron C's are $400-550 around here. I have two and they are wonderful.
So far I'm not a fan of Windows 11, but the 7800X3D seems pretty great. Cool, low power, and with BIOS updates, hopefully explosion-proof.

Dunno, never used it. All I know is a lot of people have been bugging MS to bring back one-click access to all apps to the start bar.there's that company, ??? dock that makes ui software for windows. they used to have a decent konfabulator competitor back about 22 years ago was it?
@DrMrLordX
nm found it, startdock. there was a good github opensource project for this for windows 10 when i first installed it when it came out 8 years ago. I've never used modification software like that, like you guys do. I like wox or power toys run, the pt run is still maintained by M$ on their github repos page. both solutions including launchy when it worked on older windows going back to the xp or vista days is a much cleaner approach than a shotgun pattern of apps some of you people like. but I did read that microsoft is bringing back some legacy taskbar features other than the label and combine similar mentioned last week in the press. they're rewriting portions of windows 11 as I said a while back but also bringing back features. then there's something about windows 12 being written in rust for speed and security. the same marketing spiel from m$.Dunno, never used it.
