Okay yea i5

When i try to put the perif wire from the PSU into the case fans Molex it wont go in and i dont want to put too much pressure am i doing something wrong?

 

[Dimerz]

They fit, just had to apply that regretfully powerful pressure. Thats the only wire that goes over my motherbord and it doesnt look nice. Bummer.

PROBLEM​

Okay, plug everything together. Plugged it into the wall flicked the switch on the psu and then clicked the power button on the case. The fans started and the leds on the fans glowed but then after a second it turned off and then back on. And now it keeps turning on and off, its like theres a shortage somewhere but im no expert.

Is this because i dont have my cpu in just yet?

 

[Dimerz]

Sorry for the continous replies to my own thread but this is what ive figured out so far and hopefully it can help you solve this problem:

- When all the perif psu cables are connected to the fans molex and the mobo for one of them, they turn on and off continously.
- When all the perif psu cables are NOT connected and only the sys fans on the motherboard are connected, they still turn on and off continously.

- My psu makes a click sound at the end of the turning off phase.
- I've reconnected all my wires and made sure all my wires are well seated.
- After removing the PSU CPU cable from the mobo the fans still go on and off.
- I have my ram, ssd, motherbord, psu, in built fan controller on case, and all the fans connected thus far. All im missing is the GPU and the CPU. Surely without my CPU my fans would stay on.
- My CPU will be arriving tomorrow.

I believe that the reason your PSU is going on and off is because the CPU is not there to keep it on. It's not getting the "Power Good" signal.

Hi,
Yea not sure why you would power up without a cpu ?
cpu is sort of needed

 

[Dimerz]

Yep all is well, the computer runs with the CPU. Unfortunantly got a busted up h100i v2 extreme so ill have to wait for my replacement. Gah, cant wait. Will update this once my system is all together.

 

[ThrashZone]

Busted up how so ?
Hydro Series™ H100i v2 Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler

The radiator was parallel so the top bit of the product was going right and the bottom was going left. I found that out when i was trying to fit the corsair fans and the screws wouldnt allign. The company i bought of Kikatek, have already applied and arranged a collection date, +1 to them. Heres a picture:

 

[ThrashZone]

Did you measure it with a ruler to see how far out of parallel it is ?

 

[Dimerz]

Around 2-3cm's. Aint going to adjust it just have to wait for the replacement :/

 

[AddRAM]

Ya those radiators are a handful to put in. Especially if you have 4 fans to install with it :banghead:

 

[ThrashZone]

I wasn't going to say adjust it
I was just wondering how far off it was
It sure doesn't look busted up just a defect but is hard to tell from the image.

 

[ThrashZone]

Mine mounted on the front pretty darn easily with 4 fans

 

[AddRAM]

Mounting them up top is harder, even with the case on its side.

 

[ThrashZone]

Yea I tried it like that at first but didn't like the air flow
Didn't want the rad as an exhaust

Mounting them up top is harder, even with the case on its side.

Quoted for truth.

Mine was an awful mess to get in. I hope I never have to take it out and put it back in again.
