What will happen??

What will happen if it doesn't spin up? Uh, it doesn't blow air.

I'll leave it running for now and see how it goes. It's a side vent and my
case happens to positioned along the wall with that vent is facing me, so I
can always see it. And if it failed then the PC will still run and there is
plenty of time for temp alarms to kick in.

[Thinks] .. I'll give it one more listen at 7v
