I'm not sure if the connector only plugs in one way. It was already
connected when I bought the motherboard, and from the diagram in the
motherboard manual showing how to connect it, it looks to be connected the
right way around.

I've just built a new system with a Gigabyte GA-7N400Pro2 motherboard.
The
motherboard has a chip fan (not the CPU Heatsink/Fan), but this doesn't
seem
to run at all (at least not when I've been looking at it). For anyone
with
this motherboard, I am talking about the fan which has "Gigabyte 8X AGP"
written on it and connects to the NB_FAN connector on the motherboard.
The
fan was connected when I bought the motherboard, so I believe it is
connected properly.

Anyone have any idea why this isn't working? Is it possible that it's
simply
a BIOS option somewhere, where it only runs if needed to?
What danger is there in running the PC without this fan? Would I be able
to
easily replace this fan, by either going back to Gigabyte or by buying
another fan the same size?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards
Luke
