I'll just wait for the rest of the components, will I be able to test this without a graphics card?

In that case I won't need to open the PSU (for now) I was just curious about how the fan and lights were wired together. Thanks.

Alright, I'll open it tomorrow to see what type of fan it has inside, I'll post some pics, thanks for all the help.

The warranty is no problem at all, I watched both videos and they were very informative my question is what fan is more adequate for the GS700, I'm asking because the PSU has a button on the back that makes the LEDs change color or power off... That was the first thing I tried, pressed the button several times and nothing happened. Unfortunantly I have no current means of testing the power supply under load, but I searched on youtube people doing the paperclip test on this specific PSU and when they turned it on, using the power button, the fan would spin for a brief second, the light also turns on during the paperclip test, non of this happens to my fan when I try to turn the power supply on. I think the fan might be broken but my best bet is to wait for the rest of the parts.

Alright, thanks for the help anyways, if it doesn't work when I get my parts I'll come here and post it again.

That's the problem, I don't know anyone that owns a gaming computer that can max the PSU, any other options?

Hey guys, I'm building my first computer and I bought a secondhand Corsair GS700. I plugged it in and did the paperclip test to see if it was working but when I powered it on, the fan didn't spin and there was no light at all. I got some fans and a radiator (H80) to check if at least it had power, it had, the radiator and fan that I plugged in the molex cable worked perfectly. I know the fan isn't supposed to spin until the PSU hits 40% load but it's weird that it doesn't spin a little bit when I turn it on, not even to mention the light that's not working at all... Is there a way to solve this, can I open it up and replace the fan. I have no way to test this with a motherboard/CPU because o haven't bought it yet. Thanks in advance guys.

Sup guys, new forum member here, I hope i'm posting in the right section. Last year I bought a Corsair H80 (non i) liquid cooling solution and today I decided to install it on my case's rear 120mm fan slot, my case is a CM Storm Enforcer. I'm having trouble installing it because the screws won't go in all the way making the radiator wobbly and unstable, and I don't want to force the screws in because I'm afraid I might damage the fins and ruin the radiator. I'm using the 4 included washers that came in my package and using them in this setup: screw | washer | case | fan | radiator | fan | screw Does anyone else have this problem? Is it possible to fix this without having to return the radiator? Thanks in advance.
