My guess is the polarity/connector isn't matching up. I have the same case fan in my MDD (plus 2 smaller ones in the PSU). To install it I took the connector off the OEM case fan, carefully matched the positions of the wires, and then swapped the connector onto the SilenX fan, taping off the 3rd wire. *hint- before removing the connector from the OEM fan take red and black permanent markers and color code the sides of the connector to be sure you put the power and ground wires in the correct spots. You can remove the wires from the connector using a paper clip to press the prongs down.
