i have a sigma case

had it for about 6 years

as far as i can remember the big back exaust fan never spun, nor did a side case fan that is on the case (not on the butterfly door)

looking at them, they are connected.

anyone know how i might get them spinning? maybe with the BIOS or something?

Wrap a rubber band around the base of the fan and attach one end to the case. Then all you have to do is let go of the fan.

/e
In all seriousness, if they are plugged in properly they should spin regardless. Its either bad wiring or a bad fan.

This, make sure they're connected at the cpu fan intake on the mother board.

looks like they're all connected to a clear plastic pin kind of square like then that goes to another pin wire receptor and they all seem to be going to the power supply

anything i can do if they're wired thru the PSU?

make sure case fans are set to spin in bios or even connected.

If theyre connected to the power supply and not the motherboard, then the BIOS wont affect them. They should just be spinning when powered.

You most likely just need to replace the fans.
