Okay, so to check my system, I connected the PSU to a mobo with only the CPU, heatsink, and 2 sticks of ram on it. But, when I turned the PSU on, the fan wouldn't move at all.
I was thinking that maybe my Asus A8N SLI-Deluxe mobo wasn't compatible with the Zalman CNpS7700 -CU heat sink, so I tried the stock heat sink, which didn't work either. I checked the CPU_FAN connector (the white connector thingie) and the connection was secure, but just in case, I tried connecting the plug to the Chassis Fan 1 plug, which is right next to the cpu-fan plug, and it still didn't work
I'm getting kinda scared, so I'd really appreciate it if someone helped me out. I used Arctic Silver 5, have an AMD64 athlon 4000+ CPU, Asus A8N SLi-Deluxe mobo, Zalman CNPS7700-CU heatsink, and Corsair XMS PC3200.
By the way, if the Green LED at the bottom of the mobo lights on, it means that I didn't fry my mobo, right? And is it possible to fry the CPU by rubbing a paper towel against it with acetone to remove the arctic silver? Sorry for all the questions, but I'm a paranoid freak.
