Running an Asus TUF X570 motherboard and had Asus AI Suite which includes Xpert Fan.
I have a 3 way fan splitter connected to CPU_OPT header on motherboard and never had any issues with it, but when playing with my RPM in Xpert fan by setting the CPU Fan to 100% RPM ; it caused one of fans connected to CPU_OPT to stop spinning. I'd seen it do this in the past and I would usually just low the fixed rpm again and the fan would begin spinning again, but this time it did not start spinning.
I always thought it very strange that changing the CPU fan (which I can tell my the fans on my AIO were spinning up faster so I know I'm changing the correct fan speeds) would impact the CPU_OPT fans or at least this one. On reboots and cold boots of the machine, the fan spins up for a few seconds then dies as soon as it starts booting the BIOS. The LEDs on the fan are still lit just that the fan won't spin after booting.
I've tried:
- Resetting BIOS
- Uninstalling AI Suite and resetting BIOS
- Testing the 3 way fan splitter to ensure all splitters are working (they are)
- Moving the fan which has the issue to its own dedicated CHA_Fan header or directly to CPU_OPT and not sharing with the others
None of the above get the fan to spin again - is this fan dead?
