Hi all,
I'm building a PC incrementally and decided to start out by purchasing the case, power supply unit and optical drive first. I placed the optical drive (OEM) in the case and attached the sata power supply unit that came with the PSU to the drive and also connected the psu to some other cables that i saw hanging in the case that lead to the case's fans.
When I turn on the power supply unit however, nothing happens. Is this normal? Will I have to wait until I get the motherboard in order to test everything out?
My parts are as follows:
Case: Deep Cool Kendomen
Optical drive: Cheap samsung dvd rw OEM
PSU: EVGA 750W Gold rated (I researched heavily for this one, but the sata power cables that the PSU came with are not too my liking. It was very difficult attaching the power cable to the optical drive, and even now it feels a little flimsy).
Anyways, yea, I was just a little concerned and need some reassurance from some of the experts out there. Unsurprisingly of course, this is my first build.
