Hi Everyone,

I just completed a new PC build. Oddly enough, it was able to get to POST and boot. Linux Mint is installed on the drive, but there’s one problem…

The fans don’t work. Neither the ones that came with the case nor the ones that came with the CPU cooler.

Motherboard: MSI X670e Plus Gaming CPU Cooler: Noctua DH-15 CPU: Ryzen 5 7600X GPU: Radeon RX 7800 RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR5 (Will look up specific model at home, can’t remember atm)

I have tried updating the BIOS, which did not change anything. Double checked all the connections, none seem to be connected incorrectly…?

Tried setting all the fans to PCM instead of DC… Still nothing.

What should I try now? I don’t want to damage the system by running without cooling.

Is there any fan control in the BIOS? Tried resetting BIOS settings to default?

Tried resetting the BIOS settings to default and the problem is persisting. The BIOS is not able to detect that any fans are connected despite them all being plugged in via their 3 or 4 pin header connectors

I think the board might just be defective.
