if you flick it with your finger - does it spin?

No it's not....I checked the voltage on fan port, it's 11.71V and I've tested the fan with independent supply, it's spinning very well...

What happened here ?
Any regulator or diode fail on my VGA board ?? I saw 1 AMS1117 adj which is regulator, close to the fan port...is it the faulty one ?

sounds like it's going to spin, I can hear it...but not spinning ?
not enough current ?

The fan speed is controlled by the video card (usually automaticaly), try using a utility like EVGA Precision or MSI Afterburner to change the speed. If you google "gts450 fan control" you will see some suggestions

so it will not run on POST ?
can it be controlled in linux ?

Why worrying yourself too much ? , take the fan voltage directly from the power supply , or any Fan2 , Fan3 ...etc , on board ..In most cases , it's safer to keep the Fan always working .
