so I built my first pc and its been running good for acouple of months... this morning when I tried to turn it on it just keept going on and off like a christmas light bulb. I tried to narrow down the problem, and I found out that it happens when i have one of the power cable connected to the mobo (8pin). my power supply comes with 3 cables and I hooked them all up to the mobo. one 8-pin, another is also 8-pin but it its split into sets of 4, and the 24-pin. the problem seems to occur when I have the 8-pin plugged in (not the one in sets of 4).
these are my specs:
mobo: rampage iv extreme
power: thermaltake toughpower grand 1200w
cpu: i7 3930k
gpu geforce gtx 690
I have the cpu and gpu custom watercooled and im controling the fans and pump with a lamptron controler. I have a seperate fan for the cpu conected to the mobo.
the 8pin power is sitting in a tight space and it is kinda bent but to me it didn't seem like it would cause a problem.
please help
