So recently I got the Corsair AX860i for my CM Storm Sniper case. The 4 case fans used to be attached via an ATX, but Corsair warns to NOT use ATX that don't come with the modular unit.

So I can attach them via 4-pin cables. I plugged them into my motherboard, turned the PC on and the motherboard's ATX immediately started smoking. So how am I supposed to power my case fans with this new power supply? I feel like I'm doing something terribly stupid and I don't know why.

Here is a picture of the fan cables:

I can get pictures of anything else if need be.

Thanks for your help.

Sadly, the manual does not have any information regarding these. However, I did find a visual guide on the Cooler Master forums and now I know where I'm supposed to plug them in to. and it was definitely not the motherboard. Thank you.
