EDIT: Oops didn't finish the title properly lol "Fractal Design 140mm Fan Spin Problem"


I recently bought 4 Fractal Design 140mm fans for my system.

Problem is every time I start up the PC, at least 2 or 3 of them won't spin unless I give them a slight nudge. (not always the same fans, sometimes one will run from boot and next time it won't).
While this is not hard to do, it's pretty annoying...

They are all running from 12V's. Any ideas on what I could do?

Thanks
 
sounds like they're not getting enough voltage. Have you verified they're actually receiving 12V with a voltmeter? If they are then i have no idea, if not:

when you say "They are all running from 12V's" are they plugged into the motherboard, or are they running from molex plugs from the power supply?

if its the former, look in your bios for some fan voltage control to see if its limiting them, if its the latter ... well ... somethings not right with your PSU
