Without knowing what comprises your rig, if this is a new rig with new parts, etc. it's hard to say. My first guess would be your power supply. It may be a "NEW BUILD" but now all new builds use all new parts. If this is a old PSU that would be clue, if it is a NEW PSU, it may be under powered. The next culprit to suspect is the CPU -- if you bent a pin you might be toast. Finally the 3rd, but not final, suspect is a memory module. The BEST way to find out what is wrong is to pull every thing out of the case. If your CPU has on board graphics, then pull EVERYTHING including the graphics card. Remove all your RAM except for a single stick and see if it boots. if it does then do the same thing for all the RAM. Finally IF you have a working system you can test the mother board by installing parts from a working computer like a PSU with a known working PSU. While NEW mobos that are DOA are rare, it does happen. If the new rig is similar enough that you can interchange parts with a know working machine you can easily test each part by swapping out each part into the working machine if you swap out a part and suddenly the machine dies, but as soon as you replace with the original parts and it works again you have found the bad part. This is a giant PITA but you can isolate which part is causing you all the grief. From your description it *sounds* that though you turn on the power the fins all start to spin, but for reasons unknown it never enters POST, and that is a good sign that the #1 suspect it the PSU. Swap it out with a known working PSU and see if it POSTS, and go from there.

It seems Corsair has rubber grommets for almost ALL their cases except for the Carbide 200R... or at least ones I can find. If you DO have the 3 grommets (the 2 long ones and the one short, fat one) can you provide me with the part number, as it would save me from trying to "roll my own", and with Parkinson's that could become really messy in a hurry. In the event I have to "Roll my own" what do you to recommend for a material: rubber or neoprene, and how thick? A final question: Is there a side panel that has either plexiglass or tempered glass that will fit this case or is this again more or less a "Roll your own" process. This is a GREAT case I already own one which replaced a Chieftec Dragon FULL TOWER case that weighed a TON. I was was so impressed by the Corsair Carbide 200R I decided to go with a second one, but would like to put a mostly glass side panel on it which means closing off those cutouts. If worse comes to worse I'll have to get someone mode the side panel, but I am stumped as to the grommets. Thanks for any help you could provide me. The Ship's Cat

Within the next year or two I plan to update my current workstation. I am currently looking at an ASUS Prime X570 Pro Motherboard, an AMD Ryzen 9 3900X CPU and 64 GB G.Skilll Trident X Neo RAM powered by a Corsair TX 750M PSU. The ASUS Prime x570 Pro has the standard 24 Pin ATX Power connector the EATX12V 8 Pin cable plus the EATX12V 4 Pin power connector. ASUS is saying to connect the 24 Pin + the 8 Pin Connector but ALSO the 4 Pin if you are planning on other power hungry usage and they cite Virtual Machines etc. Given that this is a Workstation, no problem. Given that the Corsair TX750M is a semi-modular PSU the 24-pin and the 8-pin 4+4 cables are taken care of, but the next question is can I pick up something like a standard ATX 4-pin 12V Male to Male extension cable, plug one end in the motherboard and run the other end into one half of the 4+4 8-pin power connector, or do I need to buy a 8 pin 4+4 Corsair cable and then have to somehow hide half the cable that is not being used? If I have to go the Corsair route given that an extra 8-pin 4+4 cable does not come in the bag of cables do I need a Type 3 or a Type 4 Cable, and will any of the correct type that would match another Corsair PSU also fit the TX750M? Thank you for your help.
