Hi,

Trying to test out my WC setup however im having problems getting the PSU to run outside the case. Whatever I connect to the PSU it only powers up for a split second then goes off again. I've tried a different PSU, fans, pump etc and still cant get the PSU to remain on- i've even tried a paper clip to see if it was the PSU bridging connector.

Any ideas for what it could be or to try? Does a set amount of power need to be used for the PSU to remain on?

Thanks.

*Edit* Got it working please delete

Frist double check you are bridging the correct wires. Black and green if memory serves. Next, try plugging a spare hard disc or two into the psu as well as the pump. Sometimes computer power supplies need a minimum load to fire up.
