Hey there,
So i finally finished gathering all my parts for my PC last Friday. This was my first time EVER building a PC. I had followed everything off Youtube and Google on how to build a PC. I got frustrated when i came to cabling, since i didn't understand anything. So i called it a night and went to bed. The next morning i ended finishing my build and was ready to turn it on. When i went to power it on, there was no sign on life besides from the JBAT1 blue light on my Motherboard. No fans spinning either. (I believe when you power up your PC, the fans are supposed to move. Atleast thats what i see on Youtube) My 3 front fans are connected to the back of the NZXT H440 New Edition fan hub/grid (Idk what you call it) Where all the fans are connected. Theres a PWM cable which i connected to a CPU_FAN header on the front of my MB. Theres a Extension Cable which told me to connect my CPU Cooler cable to it which is attached the Fan hub at the back. I have the required PSU cables tightly attached to the PSU and Motherboard. You know, 20/24 Pin, 8 Pin cable that powers you CPU, PCI-E cable that powers the GPU, SATA cables for the SSD and HDD, I believe the Peripharels Cable slot on my PSU is to to power them (Corsair HX850i) I also have a voltage device that beeps to any cable to signify if power is transferring through. When i put it to the cord thats attached to wall to my PSU, there is power, but when i put it on the cables in my System, they dont seem to be receiving power. (Atleast i think so, the fans dont spin so i think there not power, but theres a blue light above JBAT1) The Molex cable on the back of my case thats attached to the Fan Hub (Which i think is to power the Hub so that the fans that are connected to the hub can run) only has 3 pins with 1 pin missing. It has 4 holes, but 3 pins coming out of it. Though there seems to be no cables connected to the missing slot. As if it were designed just like that. So when i attached my Molex cable from my PSU to my Fan hubs Molex cable, there are only 3 pins going into it instead of 4. Is there only supposed to be 4 pins on the Molex Cable on the NZXT H440 New Edition? I feel like this could be the reason why my PC isnt booting up since all the fans are connected to this hub.
My Specs:
i7 6700K
MSI Z170A Gaming M5
Corsair H115i CPU Cooler
Kingston Fury - Black 16GB Ram
Samsung EVO850 500GB SSD
Western Digital 2T HDD
Corsair HX850i PSU
NZXT H440 New Edition
GeForce GTX 750ti (Borrowing it from a friend, since i cant afford a high end one yet. Will be replacing it out for a 1070 once i get the money)
Could it be my PSU? I have never touched it besides from last Friday when i was building my PC for the first time. Its completely new, out of the box.
If anyone could help or would like me to clear something up if you dont understand something, that would be great. Its been 5 days now since i built it, and still now luck.
