Default Rear fan not spinning :-(
I just discovered that the rear fan on my case has not been spinning for quite a while, nor the LED's are lighted up. Does this cause temps in 60's range?

How do I fix this problem or do I need to take it to PC repair shop?

Try flicking/pushing the fan blade (the way it's supposed to spin) it may start up.

If it's the only fan your case has then yes, certain temps could indeed increase. Just whip the fan out and fit a new one it's an easy job to do.

Sounds like the fan motor burned out... It may be responsible for higher than normal temps, especially if it's your case's only exhaust fan.

Like others said try flicking the fan to see if it starts.
And if it is your only exhaust fan you would most likely see higher temps.
..But I think you best bet is to buy a new fan

Replace the fan bro. You put your computer together and you can't replace your own case fan?

I didn't put it together I ordered from CyberpowerPC.com
Also I don't have much ideas on how to connect fan to motherboard,
and what fan I need to buy.
