Hello everyone. Thank you so much for taking the time, providing me with great tips and information on how to upgrade and maintain my computer I really appreciate it. Always learning something new about the computer. It's an interesting process.
I am making progress with the computer. I transferred everything over to the Corsair Obsidian 650D case. All of the cables have been managed so the inside of the case looks clean. I purchased the Hyper 212 Evo cooler and I ran into a problem earlier. I have 4 ram sticks in the motherboard but there was a clearance issue between the CPU fan and the heatsinks on the Corsair Vengeance Ram. Would it be safe to raise the fan on the Hyper212 Evo so there won't be a clearance issue with the RAM? Would I be losing any cooling from this cooler if I raise the fan up?
Another problem that I ran into with the case, when I boot up the computer, the top 200mm fan moves very slowly. I wonder if there could be a problem with the motor in the top case fan. Also, the front fan won't spin. Only the back fan works. First, I tried connecting the case fans to the case fan headers but that did not work and then I tried connecting the fans to the motherboard but that did not work. This case has not been used in over a year. Could it be possible that the case fans are faulty? If they are, how difficult would it be to replace the top and front case fans?
