Sent back my PSU for replacement
Got PSU back today
Birthday today so very excited to get gaming again
Plug PSU in and all the connection....
..or so I thought......
skip 4 hours later and intense gaming
I am sweating in my seat. PSU fan going crazy
Open cosmos 2 door
face engulfed in hot air (like opening an over door mid way through cooking)
put hand in and feel water cooling tubes
Hot tubes!
Feel fans
HOT FANS & HOT RAD
COMMENCE SWEARING!
CHECK FAN CONTROLLER
NO POWER!
Scream and shout down teamspeak
Leave game with friend
Rip pc apart
grab torch
cannot find molex
skip 10 mins later
Found molex squished between PSU and base
Plug molex in and SUCCESS!!!
Calm down and play games!
ALWAYS CHECK YOUR CABLES!

I used to have a 240v pump for a while on one of my first setups, you wouldnt believe the amount of times i forgot to turn it on, always survived though, saved my self quite a lot of near heart attacks when i finally got a 12v molex pump.

Impressed too with how long it lasted, when my pump connection was loose my system shut down in around 45 seconds.

oh well, no damage done, at least you know it's a strong system now
