My target is 8 months to build a fairly decent Gaming rig.
So far I have a View 71 case , Max X Hero and Corsair Hx750i. Slowly getting there plus a few ML fans.

I want to check my build as I progress and so far I have hit the 1st major hurdle.
My Corsair Hx750i Powers up my mobo but I dont get it to run any fans. It has a test button on the back and that doesn't seem to work. No fans fire up.

Can anyone advise please.
 
I understand that the psu fan will only run when needed .I slotted one 140mm fan in to one of the mobo fan headers to test they were working , but they didn't.
 
Also is your board inside your case? Something could be shorting out, if so try it outside the case?
 
What it boils down too, is I have 1.....140mm rgb (Exhaust) fan and 3 ....120mm ( Radiator) fans to install and cable manage but I cant get them to spin. I need to make sure they are working before I cable manage. Seems strange Theat the corsaor test button doesn't spin the fan neither. May be I messed up somewhere. But where?
 
Which header are you plugging the fan into?

Some boards can be fussy without cpu and memory.
 
Correct me if I’m wrong someone but....the motherboard should run POST when turned on, once It doesn’t find a processor or memory it will turn off?
 
I have tried all the headers. My system so far only consists of Asus Hero X , TT71 Case and Hx750i plus a couple of rads. I bought the Psu primarily to see if the rgb fans are working.
