I got an EVGA NEX750B semi-modular psu today, secondhand. It was absolutely immaculate and the seller reported he'd had it a year and never had problems with it. I tested it out on a secondary system and everything seemed fine, so i put it into my primary.
I'm using only one modular cable, for my hard drives. When i power on, the PSU spins once and then shuts off. Unplugging the hard drives allows it to turn on normally. I know the cable is good; it works perfectly with another PSU. I've also tried a different cable, and plugging into alternate ports on the PSU, with the same result.
Any insights or suggestions, before I call the guy back?
Anyone know, off the top of their head, if EVGA will honor the warranty without a receipt?
mobo and all drives work just fine with the preexisting PSU (in fact, I put the original PSU back, because i have to do work this morning).
The new PSU works fine, too, so long as only the built-in cables are attached to anything. Modular cables can be plugged into the PSU so long as they're not attached to any peripherals.
I've been researching; maybe he didn't give me the original cables…? I see mention that connectors for modular cables are not standardized. I looked at the user manual online but it doesn't show the arrangement. Anyone have this model, and willing to snap some pics?
