Take ram out and place back in. Reset bios. This might fix the issue. 

I started my system new After a while with only the cpu, mobo one ram stick and aio and it worked very good. Probably the lad's of the fans alls where burned down as I realized that the light does not turn on. Hopefully it will all work when I connect the other 24gb of ram and the gpu

Hello

 

I just yesterday build a new computer. Everything was fine and I installed some nice games. While it was turned on I configured the rgb. Also I plugged in the rgb cables to the rgb headers on the motherboard. Then accidentally I plugged in a Rgb extension cable to a rgb header and the whole system shut down. I tried to start it but only fans were lighting up for 1milli sec. And then everything turned off. 

 

I fast unplugged everything and removed the gpu. Then plugged in the 24pin for board and 8pin cpu back and tried to start it. First it started for a mill sec and shut down a it did before but a second later it started working but smelled burned all over my room, so I immediately turned everything off and unplugged it. 

 

Now I need help. I saved the money for several years (I'm only 16years and live in Germany)

 

My computer:

Psu: 600W enermax Platimax DW

Gpu: zotac amp extreme gtx 1080

Cpu: I5 8600k

Msi z370 gaming pro carbon

500gb m2 NVME

1tb barracuda Seagate

Aio: liqfusion 240mm

Fans: 6x Enermax TB Rgb

Ram: 4x 8gb Corsair LPX

Case: 011 Dynamic by lian Li

Please fast help !!!! ;((((

psu is shorted or motherboard, that is why it tries and shutsdown

 

disasemble and check motherboard extensively

It is clear that you plugged a 3 pin 5 Volt on a 4 or 5 pin that is 12 Volt.

Except that you burned the fan leds the smell indicate that you also burn the motherboard header.

If your lucky that's about it.

The smell 100% is not from the psu

How do you accidentally plug in a cable?

 

The 4 pin connector commonly used for RGB can be plugged in the wrong way. Did that happen?

:)

If you do that, it doesn't make any kind of burning smell or do any damage. It just inverts the RGB colors. Source: I'm an idiot.

Aerocool DS are the best fans you've never tried.

Yeah sounds like you burned your RGB power lines. Is there something you can see being broken on the board?

looks like everything i need works fine. The normal Fan power connectors and the pump connector is working, the other stuff i havent tried yet. I mean its now kinda shitty that my whole pc is not RGB now, but i guess its my fault :)
