No worries. You can get replacement fans anyway if you find your temps become an issue without it. Its a 140mm so for about a tenner you could find another

I know it sounds stupid, but have you got it plugged in correctly? No cable in the way of the blades?

I made that mistake! took the whole thing out and just as I lifted it out of the case the wire snagged on the fan and made itself known

frustrating! lol

Always check the silly simple things first
