Hello all,
First timer here. I just installed a new corsair h150i pro xt in my pc because the old bequiet shadow rock 2 blocked a ram slot. I also inserted my 4th ram stick with 16 gigs. In Addition I moved tue old rgb fans from the front to the upper side and the Back. When it came to cabeling I was pretty lost because all of the fans have 3 connectors. 1 to the mobo. 1 to some cable that comes from the psu (it says hdd / DVD). And 1 to a hub in the back of the case which I think is for RGB. The case is a sharkoon tg5. I hope I reconnected everything correctly again but even if not I do not think that is what killed my pc.
I briefly came into contact with the pre-applied paste and had a tiny bit on my Hand but everything still looked fine. I also had to move the pump a bit into place on the cpu which might have smeered the paste a bit. Hope thats no issue. And I am not entirely Sure anymore if the connection to the pump fan Slot was made when I tested the pc. The Sata cable I just plugged into a random sata cable coming from the psu.
One mistake I noticed was that I had a network card plugged in pcie but the usb connector was removed.
Long story short I turned the damn thing on, fans spinned for a second, no rgb, pc turned off. After pressing the power button nothing happened anymore.
So I unplugged the psu. Fan spins when doing the paper Clip test. Its a 750w bequiet.
So I think I shorted the mobo. And my question is: Are my other parts save? CPU, GPU and RAM? Would be fatal if not.
