HI Mo 

I just hope the motherboard isn't faulty, is that possible?
I think the fans are connected to the power supply, not
quite sure though.

Regards

Adrien

hello adrien.

as i said, your motherboard sensors could be reporting 0 RPM
because the 
fans do not provide a sensor readout and are connected
directly to the 
power supply, or the software you're using could be
reporting 0RPM to 
indicate that the fans are not installed or connected
directly to the 
mainboard to provide a readout. without looking at your
computer while 
its on, its difficult to make any assumptions as to what's
going on. the 
majority of smaller motherboards only have connections for 1
or 2 extra 
fans with a sensor readout function. ask paul if the fans
have a molex 
connection or weather they're using a 3 pin mainboard
connection to get 
their power. chances are they'll be molex which means
they're wired 
directly to the power supply.

all the best,

Mo.
