Question NZXT H6 RBG Flow Fans blink once when I turn on PSU

Hey guys,

I am looking for a solution on a short "issue" I am having with my new build. I build my first computer yesterday and for some reason when I only turn on my PSU the front 3 fans blink just once. Once that is done I press the power button and everything works perfectly fine.

I am wondering why is that happening, I have tried disconnecting and reconnecting all fans, along with using a different RGB port D-LED1/D-LED2. my build has a 4080 super which requires 3 PCI-E connections, for some reason my Corsair 850e only have 4 ports (2 for CPU and 2 for GPU), for now I have daisy chained the last PCI-E, is that what is causing this? I tried using only 2 PCI-E ports and the GPU did not turn on at all.

I am using all 4 sys-fan ports, one for the 3 way NZXT case fans in sys-fan 1 and the other 3 are being used by LL120 corsair fans. RBG for the NZXT case fans is in the top right RGB header, idk if it's D-LED 1 or 2, both ports show the blink. Being my first build, I am worried something my break (fry).

My Setup;
NZXT H6 FLOW RGB
AORUS B650 ELITE AX
AMD RYZEN 7 7800X3D
GIGABYTE 4080 SUPER WINDFORCE
TEAM T-FORCE 16x2 GB 6000MHZ
THERMALRIGHT PEERLESS ASSASSIN 120 ARGB
KRYONAUT THERMAL COMPOUND
CORSAIR RM850E
LL120 CORSAIR FANS
2X NOTCUA REDUX 140MM FANS (NOT CONNECTED, JUST THERE SCREWED IN FOR FUTURE)
 
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Try and relocate to another wall outlet and see if the issue persists.

The daisy chaining of the power connectors shouldn't be the issue but if you'd like peace of mind, you could try and look into the Type 4 cable;

if your PSU didn't come with the 12VHPWR cable/connector.

Do the fans behave that way when you have only one of the 3 front fans hooked up?
 
Hey Lutfij,

Thank you for your prompt response, I did try another outlet as this was first plugged in the living room and now in my room, same stuff

I will look into the corsair cable, I mine came with that cable but it doesn't have the text 600w on it, would it matter? To be clear, this would replace the 3 way splitter that came with my 4080 super and the type 4s would go in the psu right?
