I just finished my second build:
Cpu: i5 6600k
Gpu: evga 980 ti hybrid
Mobo: maximus hero viii
Case: corsair 780t white
Thermal paste: artic silver 5
RAM: kingston 16gb 2666 ddr4
Psu: corsair ax860
Note: I replaced the H115i fans with Corsair SP140 49.5 CFM 140mm Fans because of the noise I read in the reviews. I installed the fence thing on top first, then the 2 fans below it to pull air in from the top.
I installed everything into the case just fine. However, I ran into some trouble when i install the H115i water cooler for my cpu. I don't know which cables go where.
There are 3 cables coming out of the heatsink:
1. A cable with 2 heads (3 pin and 4 pin) I'm guessing is for the 2 fans
2. A 1 pin cable that looks like its for a fan cable so i plugged it into the cpu fan header at the top of the mobo
3. A SATA looking cable (I use 1 SATA psu cable for both the dvd driver and the water cooler)
4. A detachable micro usb cable that i plugged into the heatsink, the other end to the bottom of the mobo - USB header
I turned the computer on, I got a cpu fan header error (cpu temperture error). Everything else works just fine. The Corsair lights up, the fans blows strong. However, my cpu starts from 30'c and didnt stop until it reached above 70'c. I panicked and turned off my pc for 10 minutes. I questioned the thermal paste so I took the heatsink out and reapplied the thermal paste. Turned it on again and still have same problem. I let it sit for a little, it reached 89'c and the whole pc turned off. Did I do any step wrong? Setup problem? Fan problem? Pump problem? Please help!
