My current build:
Intel i7-9700k Coffee Lake 8-Core 3.6GHz LGA-1151 (4.9GHz Turbo)
GIGABYTE Z390 AORUS MASTER LGA 1151 (300 Series) Intel Z390 SATA 6Gb/s ATX Intel Motherboard
GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER 256-Bit GDDR6
32GB DDR4 SDRAM (16GB x2)
Crucial SATA III SSD x2
Cooler Master MegaFlow 200mm x3
Cooler Master SickleFlow 120mm x3
My previous build was:
AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera 8-Core 4.0GHz32GB DDR3 SDRAM (8GB x4)
ASUS M5A97 R2.0 AM3+ AMD 970 + SB 950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 960 4GB WINDFORCE 2X OC EDITION
Crucial SATA III SSD x2
Cooler Master MegaFlow 200mm x3
Cooler Master SickleFlow 120mm x3
My case: https://www.newegg.com/black-cooler-master-haf-series-atx-mid-tower/p/N82E16811119197?Item=N82E16811119197
My PSU:
EVGA SuperNOVA 850 B2 110-B2-0850-V1 80+ BRONZE 850W Semi-Modular
I've recently put together a new build and I was having difficulty powering it on. At first, it kept powering off and powering on every other second so I was wondering if I had damaged something at some point during construction. Every time it turns on it seems to struggle while powering up, but powers up regardless and stays on. I was able to play Half-Life Alyx for a few hours a day or two ago with no issue.
My question is why can't I plug all of my fans into my motherboard if I was able to on the last build I had? EDIT: Do I have enough PSU power, or do I need more?
1. Upon initial power problems, I unplugged 1x MegaFlow 200mm fan from the board.
2. I regulated 3 fans 1x SickleFlow 120mm and 2x MegaFlow 200mm to peripheral power on the PSU.
Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know ASAP, and thanks for taking the time to read this.
