This is my first time building a pc, I finished putting it together, powered on and suddenly theres smoke coming out. I managed to find out what it was that burned off but I'm not quite sure if I fucked or not. Is this serious or should I not be worried?
Am I fucked?

Have you bought case with a shitty chink """400W""" psu?
Jaxson Torres
how did you even manage that? PSU and all other parts of computers come with a ton of safety features to prevent this stuff and literal children(target demographic for pc building) build PCs on the daily
Grayson Baker
What model PSU? Did you use the standoffs on your motherboard?
Nathan Cruz
Its a Corsair CXM of 450 W bronze 80+
I have no idea as soon, as I booted it up, it started smoking
Alexander White
you let out the magic smoke
Christopher Young
that plug back to front under the burn mark?
James Allen
heres a better pic of what was smoking
Kayden Fisher
that is a worse picture
Ayden Wilson
Stop being poor and get the Seasonic Platinum before you burn the rest of your hardware.
Benjamin Miller
was the load greater than 450W?

jesus op
Luis Garcia
>better picture
Literally can't see shit.
Andrew Cox
Take everything out and build it outside of the case with only the essential parts. Hope you didn't break anything important.

I had to bust my ass off waging to even be able to afford this
Liam Walker
Is that an LGBRGB hub?

RMA
Landon Cruz
Seems like a fan controller/rgb controller
Did you get some cheap chink shit? Or is the case it came with some cheap shit?
Isaiah Perez
Seems to say IO RESET.
I'm gonna guess it's a shitty case.
Oliver Kelly
Before you fuck with anything else or RMA for no reason just rebuild it outside the case. Everything might work fine.
Jose Wood
If it's not the PSU it's probably a capacitor on the mobo that blew up or some part of the motherboard is making contact with metal that's causing it to short circuit.
There's a decent chance it still works if it's the latter (you can test it by booting it outside the case on a block of wood or cardboard), but I wouldn't risk damaging your other components.
Nathan Rogers
What kind of shitty job do you have to only be able to afford some third world hardware lmao?
Eli Sanchez
>a capacitor on the mobo that blew up
What year is it? 2005?

If you're strapped for cash then you shouldn't be building your own PC unless you know enough about PC building to not burn your components. Cheap pre-assembled PCs are a worse value but there's little risk of it frying components when you turn it on and if it does happen then you're still under warranty. Warranty won't cover you fucking up during a build, though.
Matthew Collins
Is that a front panel standoff you've got connected to that hub thing? What the fuck is that.
Disassemble the entire thing and build it outside the case and don't connect any extra bullshit.
Chase Barnes
header not standoff lol.

green or grey label?
Ryan Turner
don't be mean.
Ian Flores
Did you put the spacers on before you hooked the mobo up?
I know a couple of 1st time builders who fucked up like that.
Kayden Moore
this is bait.
Jeremiah Stewart
Also
>Corsair
Don't buy that shitty brand, get an EVGA or Seasonic, and make sure it's gold rated, and get more than 450, at least 600 for future upgrades.
Camden Allen
these pictures are not helpful. try to focus them and zoom out.

i built my first pc stoned when i was 18.
you're hopeless.
dissassemble everything and send it back to the chinks and say you want your moneyback. remember its always their fault not yours.
Joshua Cruz
I remember Fractal cases having an issue with the fan control that made them go up in flames. Maybe this is something similar and OP did nothing wrong?
Alexander Carter
>stoned when i was 18.
That’s embarrassing
Lucas Edwards
SHUT UP SHUT UP I WAS A NEET BEFORE BUT NOW I WAGE AND I HATE EVERY SECOND OF IT
Blake Smith
DUDE

Take everything apart, put it together OUTSIDE the case, use the power button from the case to power it up. See if it all works.
Adrian Morales
People like you make my blood boil genuinely. Are you taking bad pictures on purpose or are you so devoid of brains??
Dylan Lee
zoomers are fucking retarded.
hate them all.
just buy a console, gaymercuck retard.

Update, I unpluged this cable and the smoking stopped. However, the fans also stopped. Any idea on how to fix this?
Xavier Baker
I was a wagir before and now I'm a meet collecting unemployment. Literally playing Vidya all day and getting paid for it. I'm on a level of WOKE that you couldn't dream of being if u ever even became WOKE
Jeremiah Bailey
>using sata power
Michael Campbell
So it's really something like this That fan hub is probably faulty, contact the manufacturer of that case and try to get replacement. You can also connect your fans directly to the mainboard.
Charles Garcia
Whats wrong with it
Carson Nelson
I once fried a floppy drive by unknowingly connecting the power offset by one pin.
Benjamin Green
bruh
Daniel Walker
based wagie to neet poster
Cameron Johnson
How the fuck did you manage that with a Berg or Molex connector?
Jace Brown
i hope you can fix this, but can I just say... you're really bad at taking photos. you don't have to close your eyes when the flash goes off.
