During building my pc I was messing with gpu fans suddenly there was a little sound (machis pataka sound) after that my gpu fans dot work but gpu working perfectly fine. I even tested gpu fan wires with case fans still no luck.
Does anyone know the cause ?
By the way I'm using two case fans to cool down my gpu now.

First thing is that it shouldn't have happened considering
Now hardware has short circuit protection ( the system will shutdown or that hardware will shutdown before poping )
Even if the blades of the fan are stopped by hand still the circuits have protection to avoid mishaps.
Keeping in mind that your GPU has multiple fans and none of them work and keeping in mind the pataka sound most probably your GPU fan controller is dead.
When a running motor is stopped by some external force it draws too much current to overcome that force and tries to rotate. That over current might have resulted in that pataka and destroyed the controller and that fan as well. So i think one of the fan and GPU fan controller is dead. Or it might be either of them is dead.
But again keeping in mind the protections now the circuits have i think it was just your bad luck. Because i had my GPU fan stopped multiple times due to a sata cable that was touching it but nothing bad happened. Also i have even dropped nuts and bolts ( by mistake ) on my GPU's back, the GPU just stops giving display and after a restart everything is back alive running perfect.
