My corsair RM750 PSU is provided with a CORSAIR LINK (800mm +-10mm) cable that connects on the back of the PSU, the other end of the cable has a female 3 pin connector and is divided with another 2pin female connector, where do they go on the motherboard??? it says nothing about it in the booklet...

sure there you go. i plugged the female 4 pins into the CORSAIR PSU, what you see is the other end, with a 3 pin connector and a 2 pin connector (both females)

Oh for that, apparently you need to buy a separate LINK module: http://www.corsair.com/us/corsair-link/corsair-link-kits.html but they're extremely expensive for some reason. You could try plugging them into the fan pins onto your motherboard, but I partly doubt it will work, as it is controlled by software via the controller that then connects via USB.

Thank you very much for the reply. But for now, my fan doesn't work and doesn't even spin (the PSU FAN). Does that mean it has to stay like that? isnt it extremely dangerous?

Its totally normal, as the corsair RM series were designed for silence, so the fan doesn't start until ~40% of maximum load. :) But no, they won't overheat.

While you're at it, I might need help for something else... The UEFI Bios won't recognize my SSD for priority booting. So i had to select my HDD.... has this ever happened to you? its kinda sad i wanted to install windows on my ssd and boot on it for faster speed.

I only plug in my SSD when I'm installing windows. Then I shut down my computer after the installation and plug in my HDD.

Do you think that would work?
1. Copy HDD content (including windows software) onto SSD
2. put priority on SSD in UEFI Bios

Sadly, I don't think that you can copy the HDD content onto the SSD. You could try to plug your HDD into another computer via a 3.5 to USB 3,0 adapter and copy the file, and then transfer them onto the SSD, but if it fails, then Windows will become corrupted. Yes, you should definetly put SSD priority on your next windows install.
