Took delivery this morning of the following:
Enermax Liberty 500w
Gigabyte DS3
2gb Geil 6400 dual channel kit
Connect3d X1800Xt
Core2duo 6300 (allendale)
Basically I've installed the cpu, memory and gfx card and plugged in the 12v power and the 24pin power, powered the gfx card using one of the pci-x power connectors supplied with the Enermax and plugged the fan on my Zalman 9700 into the cpu-fan connection.
When I power on, the fan on the zalman won't keep turning, it moves a little bit then stops, then does the same again.. at which point obviously I quickly power off. Basically it's like it's stopping and starting, and I don't know why, I think the system fan might have been doing the same but I was more focussed on the cpu so not quite sure. Any help anyone can give is really appreciated!
just had a thought, I do have a connector to connect a system fan to the regular 12v connectors, should I try using that on the cpu fan instead of plugging it directly to the mainboard?
