Hi all,
I just built the new mini ITX with:
Asrock z77E
i5-2500k
WD Caviar Black 1 TB
MSI 7770 GHz edition
Cooler Master Elite 120 case
Corsair HX650 PSU
Anyway, I did an external build and everything worked fine. I just daisy chained the two case fans and turned it on and smoke poured out. It came from between the chassis fan connector and the first molex plug which was connected to the 80 mm case fan. Now the graphics card doesn't work either. I hooked the HDMI direct to the box and I have a display, so everything else seems fine. I have one more set of molex connectors from this PSU that I can try again with. Should I try it again?
I also noticed where the GPU connects to the mobo, some of the gold was chipped off where it goes into the PCI-E slot - does that matter?
Thanks so much - I'm so disappointed!
