I wasn't sure where to post this.
I'm having a problem with my first build. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/GLQvsY
I'm not very tech smart and have never done anything like this before the problem I'm having is I put in liquid cooling, kraken x41, and now when I turn it on it starts smoking where the power cord goes to the motherboard. My boyfriend thought it was my motherboard so he ordered a new one and same thing happened again. Anyone know what's going on?
Edit:
I have solved this by powering the pump directly from the power supply using a molex connector. I guess it was drawing too much power or something to the motherboard? After reading tons of other posts it was the one suggestion that worked! Thanks everyone.
