Well, I'm an idiot. I accidentally plugged one of the 4pin cpu connectors upside down. Thank you for helping!!!!

I just got a new case today, and I have just finished transferring my components from an old case to the new one. However, as soon as I plugged in everything, the PC wouldnt turn on. What could the problem be, and how could I fix it? Note : I was just using the PC before I transferred my components to the new case, and everything was working just fine.

Since the processor only has a 65w TDP, is it alright for me to use the single 4 pin until I can get a PSU upgrade?

I purchased an 80mm fan which I installed as an exhaust fan, then considered purchasing a 120mm fan as an intake fan which I planned to install on the side panel of my case (Fortress Magnus Micro ATX). However, a friend disagreed with my plan, stating that it I shouldn't install a fan on the side of my PC, even though it looks like the case can support it. What should
