Ill give you the full story because im afraid that I just killed my graphics card or motherboard. After installing new fans, I later realized that I didn't hook them up to the motherboard but rather the PSU. my fans are PWM so I wanted to be able to change fan speed, so I went back in and hooked them all up. My graphics card was in the way so I removed it and placed it on my hard drive bay chassis, fans down. After installing it I noticed a slight buzzing sound when I started a test run. I thought maybe it was because of my changing the fan connectors so I again removed the graphics card in the same way and reversed my work, and started it up again. I realized that the buzzing sound was always present, but the lower fan speeds made it noticeable. So I again removed the graphics card and put the fan connectors back into the motherboard. I try to turn it on. Nothing happens. Monitor screen stays black. I investigate, and I see that one of my gpu fans aren't running. A fan connector was in the way. I push it out of the way. I try to turn my PC on again. Nothing happens. I look again and I see that my fans that i connected to the motherboard aren't running. My gpu fans are. My cpu cooler fans are. When my fans are connected to the PSU, they run. Im at a loss. Did I perhaps rush, and shorted out my gpu/motherboard with static electricity? But then why are my gpu/cpu fans running? Does that not rely on the motherboard, but the PSU?
