Hi all sorry for the long winded question so I bought a used corsair Hx1200i PSU with proof of it working. I received it and plugged in the power cord and the self fan test worked.
Well today I had time to actually install it and I realized they didn’t send me the 4+4 CPU to 8 pin cord. Luckily I found one from my older EVGA 850 way.
installed everything and this is what I found.
I have two questions: 1. I’m assuming the old EVGA 4+4 cord isn’t compatible with this PSU that’s why it’s not working? 2. I use a commander pro for all my fans, shouldn’t my fans have turned on with only the 24pin ATX??
Im going to have to order a cord but won’t be here till Wednesday and hopefully that works. My computer was working just fine using my old no modular PSU. So I know it can’t be that the motherboard is bad all of a sudden.

- with the 24atx ONLY plugged into the mother board the computer powers and RGB lights come on the RAM (no fans spin)
- With the 24ATX and the GPU plugged in RAM lights up, power button is lit, and GPU fans spin.
- When adding the 4+4 to the CPU on MB to PSU NOTHING turns on.
