Hi Guys ,

So after 3 days i finish my water cooling and nightmare is here , PC wont start .

I connect all cables and everything and nothing happens , but when i try push on 24 pin cable - psu make some strange noise please check video (also max your volume to hear)

i'm not sure if i not broke 24pin adapter on motherboard when i first time try take of 24pin connector (hope not),
motherboard lights up

but when i try switch on or press START button on motherboard nothing happens

Any advice ??
 
Did you use a paper clip to bridge the 24pin when filling loop? I managed to damage it that way and it wouldn't start till I bent it back.

A paper clip ? sorry but what you mean by paper clip ,
When i bleed loop i use steal cable and connected as is shown here http://www.corsair.com/en/blog/testing-your-corsair-power-supply/ but that not work so i connect pump to my old PC and bleed system

Now i disconnect all cables from psu and done crosair psu self check and all looks OK / passed self test / LED light up green

now i going to connect back and try my luck
 
so i try connect back all cables but not luck , nothing happens again , psu looks ok passed self test but when i connect it to system its just not start up system at all

old psu is in my old pc and i don't really want take it of (for same reason maybe will not start back up)

i think its must to be cables
 
Ok good luck then :)

Thanks but i think i'm not friend with luck

Could it be the power button cables? positive and negative wires round the wrong way?

power cable was first think what i check and not sure , but even start button on mobo not start system

Fan disconnect prevention?

dont no , now i have all fans connected to AeroCool Touch 2000 4-Channel LCD Touch Panel Fan Controller so not sure what is issie
 
Cleared cmos ? Is that the small battery on motherboard ? Becouse if its then no i dont do nothing with this battery
And no i dont broke any pins on 24pin connector but asyou can hear in video when i push connector psu make some click/noise
I will try google tomorrow "clear cmos" becouse i'm noob in this and i will also try this ram remove game
 
Have you tried loosening the cpu block? It looks like you have it clamped down quite hard with all that thread showing. It's worth taking it off and checking the pins to make sure you haven't damaged them.

I take out cpu and everything looks ok , no sign of any damage

What else to try ?

so i re seat CPU and no luck .

Ahh don't no what to do , this is happens when noob try go hardcore and watercool system

i dont get it , start and reset button on mobo lights up so that mean system have pover so why just not start and maybe give me some error or something . i want system to start and give me error so i now what to check and try fix error but now i dont now s*it . damn i nervous.

And alex issue is i purchase full build so dont now if they will take mobo back for RMA if they will now what everything i done to it

is the system new?.. was it working before u watercooled it? and you atill have not answered why u would like you have damaged the PSU.

system is not even month old , and was working b4 perfectly with h100i , i just remove h100i and add pump and add waterblock on 2x 780ti , amd PSU should not be damage as last night i take out psu disconnect all cables and corsair self psu check it , and its passed like 5 time a row , led on psu light up green and fan spin
 
Yeah just the angle, and nothing else obvious.

Did you try each gpu started up after fitting the blocks, before putting them in the loop?

no i don't , when i take down fans and install waterblock on them and leaved them on side and later on just seat them on mobo and connect bridge and bleed loop
 
i dont have any error code , 2 digit panel not even lights up , only power button and reset button lights up when i plug power cord in

its looks like i will have to dry loop and take all pc apart and test all hardware each (i really don't want do this ) but its looks like i don't have any other choice
 
but how do i should investigate that ??? i dont have spare 24pin cable on table and as you can see on pic they looks ok , only when i pust then then psu make some small noise , so i really dont no how can i fixt that

Oh My LIFE

I just **** my self ,
So i took of PSU from my old PC (still in use as writing) and connect to new watercooled build , connect 24pin and one under that and cable on 2x4pin on top of mobo , connect just one SSD and one stick of RAM , when i plugged power cord in mobo (start and reset button) lights up , then i press start button and so a second i seen singh of life and then massive smoke come up , and because as anyone i panic and very quickly plugged of power cord . now i'm sure i ****ed up something but what i did broke - no clue
 
Can you see if your old PSU now works on the old PC?

yes old psu work with old pc now . not issue at all .

I just saw your other thread about jumping the new PSU (AX1200i). Are you sure you did this correctly? Did you use a pin or a PSU jumper? I wonder if this messed up the connectors as stated above?

i use just steal cale to connect fourth and fifth pin . dont have psu jusmper .


at the mean time i maybe found reason why its smoke when i try change psu's . its looks like fan controler was poor quality and smokes up .

now i oing to try new psu ax1200i on old pc and see if its work . if its work i will take of old psu from old pc and connect to new pc with only 24pin and ssd connected .

dont think (hope so) i broke mobo 24pin adapter
