Hi all.  I am new to this and seeking advice from you experts.  I just built a new system with a Ryzen 7 2700x and a ASRock x470 Taichi Ultimate MB.  My Wraith fan doesnt go on. I have the rgb colors, but no spin.  Is there a thermastat which turns it on at a certain point or should it constantly run?  I also will spin a few revolutions when it shuts down. Thank you in advance for your help!

is it plugged in?
1 cable for RGB and 1 cable for Fan - BOTH need to be connected

ps DONT put RGB-Header wrong - it will kill the LED of your Cooler and only work correct with blue after that (as i have learned the hard way)

Yes. I plugged in the stock wire ( the one attached) into CPU fan 1 pinset. the second wire to the AMD led fan header  pinset, and the third  wire with the USB in the AMD Led usb Header pinset. The LED still works, but cycles a different color with all three attached.

...
you need EITHER RGB header OR USB

ps - if your MoBo has RGB-Header than just use that 4Pin-RGB Header
then set it with your MoBo Software

Thank you I will try that.

Ok So I have all three power supplies plugged in.  Stock wire int to CPU fan 1 pinset and USB header plugged in.  I can change the RGB, but the fan still wont turn.  I am guessing bad fan or wiring.  Or do I need to plug into a different pin set than CPu fan 1?

TIA

actually if you plug in fan 4pin it should spin - if it dont than fan is broken

Also...

Do you have all three power connectors on the motherboard connected to the power supply?

(one 24 pin, one 8 pin and one 4 pin)
