Just did my first external build, things are looking a little strange.

Hooked up the MoBo, RAM, GPU, PSU, and CPU. Green light was on my MoBo.

Hit the power pins with a screwdriver to test the power, and the GPU fans started spinning, but the CPU fan didn't budge, and the PSU fan spun for a seconds before stopping.

I have the CPU fan connected to the 4 pin slot on the MoBo that says CPU_Fan.

I have the power supply connected to the wall of course, to the MoBo with a 24 pin cable over by the RAM labled EATXPOWER, as well as with an 8 pin cable on the MoBo labeled EATX12V.

The PSU is also connected to the GPU with an 8pin PCI-E cable.

I'm pretty lost here. I discharged frequently via the case, and when I hit the power pins on the MoBo, a red light pops on the MoBo near the GPU, so the MoBo looks okay.

Using a P8Z77-V Pro Asus MoBo, Corsair HX70W PSU, IvyBridge Intel I-3570K CPU, Corsair Vengeance 4GBx2 RAM, Nvidia EVGA Geforce GTX760 GPU.

UPDATE: Reseated to CPU cables, now thats spinning! PSU is still coming on for only a second, though.

EATXPOWER is the 24pin 2x12 going from the PSU to the Motherboard.

If you meant the EATX12V, that's an 8pin 2x4 that I can't unplug from the PSU.

UPDATE: My PSU does have a sticker that says "Silent operation at low to moderate loads. In this mode the fan will not spin. So am I good to go? :'D

Before I resort to benching, its looking like everything miiiiight be working.

The power supply has "Silent Operation" where the fan doesn't spin at low loads, so maybe thats why it pops on for just a sec?

Also I reseated the CPU fan power and its spinning :'D
