Hi everyone,
I have a problem that so far Fractal wasn't able to solve: my 4-pin cooler fan doesn't work whenever it is connected to any of the 4-pin connectors of the hub.
Fractal has even sent me a replacement hub to no avail.
If I connect the fan directly to the motherboard CPU_FAN1 it works just fine.
I have the three case fans all connected to the 3-pin outputs of the hub and they run as well.
Neither of the 4-pin connectors work though.
I've contacted the manufacturer of the fan also (be quiet! DARK POWER SLIM which has a 4-pin Silent Wings PWM 120mm fan) and they told me that the only possibility they were seeing is if the PWM signal coming from the hub was always below 20% duty cycle.
What do you think? As there is nothing special with my fan I find it very bizarre that I'm the only person in the world with this issue...
Thank you in advance!
Edit:
I have another question...
I've read elsewhere some opinions that the 3 stock fans (Dynamic X2 GP-14) are really bad but I wonder if that's really the case...
Their specs read:
Rotational speed 1000 RPM
Airflow 68.4 CFM
Static pressure 0.71 mm H2O
Noise level 18.9 dB (A)
I happen to have two smaller spare fans (SILENT WINGS 3 120mm PWM high-speed).
Their specs read:
Fan speed @ 100% PWM / 12V (rpm) 2,200
Air Flow @ 100% PWM / 12V (CFM / m3/h) 73.33 / 124.58
Air Pressure @ 100% PWM / 12V (mm H2O) 3.37
Noise level @ 100% PWM / 12V (dB(A)) 28.6
Comparing these figures I can't see that the air flow is much better and moreover it is achieved at a much higher RPM with a much higher noise as well.
However the static pressure, presumably the same as air pressure (?), is indeed much higher in the be quiet! fans. What is more important and should I replace the fans or not?
I should add that I'm mostly interested in keeping the noise as low as possible, not jeopardizing of course the temperature inside the case.
I won't do any kind of overclocking as well and I have a relatively 'cool' HW:

mobo: Asrock X570 Pro4
GPU: Zotac Gaming GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER Twin Fan
