Hello. I am trying to find an answer to a new issue I am having. Following a new GPU a few weeks back, I decided to upgrade my PC with a few new parts.
My basic setup is
MB - Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 ATX AM3+
CPU - AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black 3.2GHz
Ram - G.Skill Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3-2000
OCZ Fatal1ty 550W 80+ Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
Antec NSK4482B ATX - Has two 120mm's
MSI Radeon R9 280X - added two weeks ago.
The computer seemed to be running much warmer so I decided to add two Antec 120mms, the Corsair H100i CPU cooling system and I bought a Thermaltake Smart 850W PSU.
The PSU and fans installed without issue. The H100i took some modding to get into the case, but I managed to make it fit. I hooked everything up back up and plugged it in.
I turned the PSU on and hit the power button. The fans on the GPU and H100i only moved about an inch and did not move again. I pressed power once more and not even the inch of movement could be replicated unless I unplugged the PSU and plugged it in again.
I've looked all around for anything blatantly placed incorrectly, but I am not seeing anything. I've unplugged everything and moved them from their hiding spots to see if the cables have any tears or breaks, but I do not see anything. All the parts were new.
Does anyone have an idea of what I may have done wrong? I can provide any more information asked of me.
