So I purchased a set of RGB strips from Phanteks. I bought a used ML120 Corsair Red fan. I have a Phanteks Enthoo Pro case. I have 3 pin Corsair fans running to case hub 5 total. I decided to install the red Corsair on the HD cage for looks and to blow cool air on GPU. hooked it to the sys fan4 on Motherboard. I then ran the rgb strips nice and neat, hooked one strip to rgb header on motherboard and one to the rgb cable that comes with the case. Hit the on switch and Ol Boy here we go! Fans went full speed which they do but the red Corsair was humming, rgb strips were freaking out trying to choose a color, the PC kinda shutdown, then back on, then shutdown again then on, everything glowing, fans blowing, no video. It was like in The Money Pit where Tom Hanks can't help but watch his kitchen catch fire. Tried every troubleshoot option there is. No video. Power to everything. No video
3 hours later and on my last leg I decided to throw in my old mobo just as a Hail Mary, plugged everything in, turn on, post, Bios Screen, Praise the Sun!
But wait, now I'm stuck with a fan and rgb strips I'm scared to death to use on new board when it arrives. Please tell me this was a faulty mobo and a freak incident. Motherboard was purchased from Amazon warehouse.
