I used the new cables and everything that came with the new power supply. The rebooting problem was solved when I swapped out the motherboard. Maybe the PSU problem also damaged the motherboard, I'm not sure. Everything works now, and I have a second one built for my wife so coop gaming.

Got a new power supply and cooler and it still restarts as soon as it gets to the windows installation options. Not sure what to do from here other than keep RMAing parts and hoping something works?

It must be the re-release as the cooler block has led that lights up the corsair logo. No other LEDs on it though.

Than Thanks, will do! I've been at the end of my rope for the last day trying to figure out the way forward with this mess. I appreciate the guidance. I'll reach out to Corsair and see if I can get anything resolved. I'm the meantime I'll see if I can get a different level of cooler or nzxt...

Not sure about the H100i cooler, but the H75 has two plugs coming from it (both directly from the cooler, not from the fans). 1 is a 4 pin fan plug, the other is a sata power cable. The only way I know to plug that in is on the PSU, as I don't know of a motherboard that contains a sata power...

Thank you, I will try to go to the BIOS. If it posts is that good enough to say the motherboard is fine? Is there a change a part of it, say the 4 pin fan plug, was damaged but the motherboard will still post? I'll RMA the cooler. It's possible I missed the sata plug the first few times I...

Built a New Computer, Small Fire, Need Advice [Final Update] Got a new motherboard, installed everything again (new cooler since the last two melted), and every thing works perfectly. Ran memtest overnight and didn't find any issues, CPU only gets to around 55c while gaming (Metro, Monster...
