Is the fan plugged into the motherboard? It should be spinning from the moment the PC is started.

yep inserted into the cpu fan connection on my ds4 mobo

what could it be have i missed something??

Does it spin then stop or not at all, try a different fan header

Smart fan control was on by default on my DS3, probably the same on the DS4, i.e. it's switching the CPU fan off. Go into the BIOS and set it how you want.

do you know where i can find instructions on how to do that?

cheers

It is in the manual but from memory if you look in the PC Health page you should find the fan control settings (second to last item). Set it to disabled.

The fan not spinning at startup is the default action (so long as it is connected correctly) on the DS4 and as you've mentioned it is because the motherboard doesn't consider that the CPU is hot enough for it to start.
