dahomosapien Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Hello, Recently I bought a 2nd-hand 500r Carbide case. I built my first PC, & everything worked fine, but then I smelt burning coming from inside the case. One of the wires (+ or -) part of the fan circuit on the I/O was completely singed, so I instantly disconnected the fans from the PSU. My PC works fine without the fans because the fans aren't connected to the motherboard. At first I thought maybe the issue was with the I/O panel, so I ordered a 2nd one, reconnected everything and then when I turned the PC on I smelt burning again. The same wire was singed again. I've now concluded that the issue is probably to do with my PSU. I have a Enermax Platimax 1350w PSU. I'm a noob and sincerely would appreciate all the help I can get. If anyone here knows the circuit well, please look at the pictures below. I wrapped the singed wire in a blue casing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dahomosapien Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 The fans weren't connected to the motherboard. They went from the I/O panel to the PSU. I'm starting to think I should just go straight through the motherboard. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
