I just had an adventure. Almost three hours of rewiring my computer so I could fit two more fans... and then making the wiring not shitty (can't say I succeeded there).
All finished, put case back together, hit power button... nothing. My heart damn near stopped. After panicking and searching through all the wires trying to figure out what was wrong, I realize one plug looks a bit... empty. Read the mobo and realize its the plug for the power button, reset button... stuff.
I will be entirely honest, my brain didn't even consider the idea that the power button connected to the mobo, I must have assumed it connected via magic. I also didn't imagine that it would connect via a series of 1 and 2 pin plugs, all right next to each damn other... ALSO don't recall even unplugging those.
Well, my fans work, all 6 of them... beautiful.
Hope someone found this lil rant insightful if they ever rewire their comp in the future >_> now back to law farming.
