is it possible to mess a plug or something on your mobo, i was installing a whisper and a twilight flow, and first power up the twilight flow flickered and died(but still works in my computer) and one side of my fan died in my whisper. also my stock fan one side it dead, but it worked fine.

You could have shorted it, did you check the connections between the fan and board.

so i called microsoft, and they dont have any information on only one fan working.

The guy told me to keep playing my xbox so that i can get the red rings and pay 99 bucks to get it fixed basically because my xbox is out of warranty.

im flipping pissed to the max now.
