PC Specialist Branded Fans meant to stop on idle/surfing the web

I have noticed that one of my PCS branded fans tend to stop now and again, not sure if this is to do with the fan curve I have or if they only come on with certain temps?.

When you say one of the fans, what are we talking about here?

What's the spec, and what fan is it?

Well the rest of the fans are corsair. the one on the front/side of the case is PC specialist fan it has no make just pc specialist sticker on it. it's the Extreme Orion 4k VR ready pre built from PC specialist if that's any help.

I don't know what that spec is, so I don't know if we're talking about a case fan, or a CPU cooler fan. If a case fan I might have been surprised to see it turn off on idle. If it's one of the 2 fans on an AIO cooler, I'm not sure why 1 would stop and the other not. I can't really guess without knowing what's in the system. Maybe someone else will know :)

Seems to be. I'd be tempted to follow the cable and see where it's plugged in, in case it's loose at all. If the connection looks sound, you could also use temperature and fan monitoring software to see under what circumstances the fan changes behaviour. Did you change your fan profiles at all from the default that the system shipped with?

I mean, there is no software to change the fans on my PC. the only software I got is MSI AFTER BURNER. the fan curve on that is only to GPU fans, correct me if I am wrong though?.

Then you presumably haven't changed it. Do you see where the case fan is plugged in? Into the PSU or the mobo?
