So today was the big day for an upgrade. I tried installing the following parts:
I9-9900kf
Corsair h100i RGB Platinum
EVGA G3 750W 80+ Gold
Upgrading RTX 2070 to RTX 3080 OC (I need to get into Windows before I mess around with installing the graphics card first)
then I replaced my psu to replace a g2 650W to a g3 750W.
I thought I had a 550w so I bought the 750w but already had the 650 but meh,
The radiator and fans fit up top leaving literally NO room for ram but I managed to get them all tight and working.
I actually bought a RTX 3080 OC TUF Gaming 10GB but I'm going to replace my 2070 with it when I can get the darn thing to post.
I'm just looking for a screen post at least.
I have a HDMI cable connected to back of GFX card.
The psu setup looks like:
1 VGA connector that splits to 2 plugged in both parts of graphics card, seated in position
First took the air-fan off the 8700k I had before then slipped the chrome bar off the CPU. I placed the 9900kf in its socket with the arrows aligned.
Then I installed the backplate on the back of the motherboard, and screwed in the mounting screws on the front,
I pressed the pre-applied thermal cooler head with the logo upwards on top of the mounting screws and tightened them all in a criss-cross way so they all tightened equally
The 2 fans for the H100i that come with the box I have installed underneath of the radiator (top position of the case). Two of the fan cords (pwr) go into the Fan hub and 2 of the RGB connectors go to the RGB hub
All of this should be correct on the last step I hope the pwr/rgb both are HUB connectors to what comes with the cooler.
I don't know whats wrong
But I cant get a post to my monitor, and It restarts over and over. I REALLY hope that it's not the CPU and Cooler installed incorrectly but I followed all the steps.
H100i cooler is connected to a SATA power connector as mentioned above

- 2 CPU connectors the big one at the top of the MOBO and I installed a second one to CPU-2 slot of PSU because I plan on OC'ing my 9900kf to > 4.8
- SATA cable connected to both my HDs, same deal 1 cord that splits to 2
- MOBO connector to big connector on MOBO.
- SATA cable connected to the H100i RGB head
