Fans aren't spec'd to spin up with only 5 volt, even if they happen to
when new. Use 7 volts.


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

My Lian Li has fan controllers and when I installed a TT SubZero TEC cooler
and it's PSU, the PSU can control fan speeds too. I had all my fans running
at medium speed (9v I think) at first and the front two 80mm didn't spin up
at all until I realized that the TT PSU was cutting the voltage down to
approx 5v. Funny thing, the top exhaust and the rear fan spun up fine. Once
I turned the case fans up to normal speed, everything was fine.
