So last night i built most of my new pc. Put the RAM in, put the CPU in and the cpu cooler. plugged the PSU in. All waiting for the GPU which should arrive today. I powered it on last night and got to bios menu to make sure it booted.
The only thing i couldnt figure out is where the front fans connected to on the mobo. I believed I had figured it out and plugged them into one of the chassis fan portsd on the motherboard. And to check I decided to do a quick power on again to make sure they spin.
I pressd the power button and nothing happened. So i pressed it one more time and I seen a spark come from the motherboard and a "pop". Then the smell of burning. I powered everything down and couldn't see any obvious signs of something being blown or burned. So i unpluigged the front fans I had just connected and powered the PC on again.
Now it powers to the bios menu but says "CPU FAN ERROR". But no error code or anything. So can someone please help. what do you think went pop? And where do the front 2 fans of a corsair 500r (which are connected to a fan controller thing plug into? (On an ASUS Z87-plus).
Here are the specs of the New PC
CPU: i5-4670K
CPU Cooler: 212 EVO
Mobo: ASUS-Z87 PLUS
PSU: XFX 650W Semi modular PSU.
the rest i havent plugged in yet. but wil link them anyway.:
GPU: MSI Gaming R9 290X
SSD and an HDD along with a dcd rom drive
Any help is appreciated. I hope the damage isnt irreparable
