[Non-h] scammed by intell?

I bought a computer a long time ago and didnt notice this until today when it crashed in different ways all the time.... I opened it to check if something was out of the ordinary when i noiced... The big fan that is supposed to cool the whole computer... Is not even plugged in... Yeah! Wtf the master fan is not fcking spinning at all so i tried looking for a jack so i can plug it in... The jack is for 3 pins with the color red black and yellow but the only port i found with 3 pins has something that protects it and does no match the one the fan uses.... So yeah since i bought the computer the main fan has been off they didnt even bother to plug it in . . . Did i get scammed by intell :S and if anyone know about computers id like to have som help... I feel crippled without my comp(using my iphone for this)

Hmm, seems pretty bad. I don't think they scammed you, but an honest mistake that they forgot to pin the fan to the motherboard. If there is no other way to find out if it can be plugged back in or not. I suggest you but a cooler for it. Nitrogen Box Coolers are expensive but worth it.

Intel only makes the chips and maybe components to the mobo's. You need to talk to
A. the store or site you bought from and
B. the company that built for you or just built it.

Plus wrong section.

If you're talking the main fan (not a fan cooling the CPU) it is part of the power supply and usually hardwired (i.e. no plug). Look at the vents in the back of the case where the fan would draw in air - if they are caked with dust, etc then they have been working in the past and you probably just had the power supply fail. I doubt you would have made it this long with the fan inoperable from day one.

well maybe this will do? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260746569391&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
