    [SOLVED] Computer not powering on with 4080 power cable plugged in

    Hiya, is that cooler master 12vhpwr adapter even compatible with the rm1000 power supply while being plugged directly into it? Just because it can be plugged in doesn't mean that its pinned correctly for a rm1000 power supply as it's a different brand therefore different internal connections...
