Yesterday i pushed really hard (Not too much) and it really did nothing. Wiggling i will have to try it. This reminds me of the first time assembling my PSU to my MB because of the 24 pin. Maybe i need to wiggle it and push it. Thanks for the help!

The problem is probably caused because that connector has never been used, so the friction fit is pretty high. After few successful installations it should go in easier.

Of course, this is an assumption, I could be wrong.

So I ordered a Used HD 7850 1GB VRam for about 45 Dollars. It arrived from now everything looks fine. I got an x2 molex to 6 pin pcie plug which matches the GPU's plug. When i insert the PCIE Plug it dosen't go completly down with the hinge.BTW this my first GPU installation because I always used my Intel HD 4400 and also the gpu has a red light and the fan dosen't spin.

Have you unlocked (pushed the little thingy at the back down) before installing the graphics card?

Yes I pushed the hinge and added one picture. I am not in my house so i cant take more pictures.

See if you aligned it the right way, it is designed to go in only one way. Maybe there is something blocking it from going in...

Everything seems okay in my other image. I suuppose it is like the cpu 4 pin/ 24 pin that you push the connector and then the hinges secures itself. I cant post the second image because it says uploading failed.

Yes, it should click when inserted correctly. Without other image I can't say much. Look out for something obvious. Maybe the adapter is of poor quality so it won't fit.

Also have you tried pushing it a bit harder (but not like a madman) and wiggling it. I had to wiggle them to get mine into my card.

Look at the pins (male and female ends) and make sure they're not bent and blocking it from matching smoothly.

Having issues with a Corsair AIO? Possible fix here:

Spoiler

Are you getting weird fan behavior, speed fluctuations, and/or other issues with Link?

Are you running AIDA64, HWinfo, CAM, or HWmonitor? (ASUS suite & other monitoring software often have the same issue.)

Corsair Link has problems with some monitoring software so you may have to change some settings to get them to work smoothly.

-For AIDA64: First make sure you have the newest update installed, then, go to Preferences>Stability and make sure the "Corsair Link sensor support" box is checked and make sure the "Asetek LC sensor support" box is UNchecked.

-For HWinfo: manually disable all monitoring of the AIO sensors/components.

-For others: Disable any monitoring of Corsair AIO sensors.

That should fix the fan issue for some Corsair AIOs (H80i GT/v2, H110i GTX/H115i, H100i GTX and others made by Asetek). The problem is bad coding in Link that fights for AIO control with other programs. You can test if this worked by setting the fan speed in Link to 100%, if it doesn't fluctuate you are set and can change the curve to whatever. If that doesn't work or you're still having other issues then you probably still have a monitoring software interfering with the AIO/Link communications, find what it is and disable it.

So I tried "Brute force" ( i dont know why i say that cuz im kinda weak) with my palm and it almost got fully inserted. I will post two images if it uploads correctly to show the progress. Anyways i will keep trying to finish what is left.

Hi guys first of all thank u A LOT. Thanks for the tips! The GPU lighted green when i connected the cable and I was like "Well that's news" and I left it like the top picture because today it was a hard day so I tested it. It is fully working as I write this. Right now I am writing this on a laptop to transfer the HD 7850 drivers through USB. Again thanks a lot am very excited.
