Hello everyone,

I originally had a Corsair Air 540 case and wanted to upgrade to something a little different and saw the Corsair 600c case on sale, so I bought that.

I was moving everything over last night and got it all squared away until I tried to start it up and it came up with 1 long beep and 3 short beeps, as well as a CPU Fan error, then it shuts down very quickly.

I heard about resetting the warning in the BIOS, but my computer doesn't stay up long enough to get into the BIOS.

I've ensured my liquid cooler is running properly and it's plugged into the CPU_FAN part of the mobo. I've also tried plugging just a normal fan into the CPU_FAN plug and it still does not work. All the fans, including the ones on the radiator are running fully. I'm running thin on options I know of, so any help would be appreciated.

I thing I noticed though is on this case, the back plate behind the CPU is completely exposed, but I've seen other systems of this style run just fine with that.

FYI, I'm not at the computer now so I wont be able to try until later tonight when I get home.

Specs of my PC:
CPU: AMD 8320
MOBO: ASUS 990fx Sabertooth
GPU: Radeon R9 290
Cooling unit: Corsair H100i v2
RAM: 32gb Patriot
PSU: Antec 850w

I have taken it out to reseat it a couple of times, and I hear the mobo click every time I've set it in there.

Would some new Thermal paste make a difference on this? I plan on going back to my old case tonight to see if this problem continues and kinda go from there.
