The TT AIO has been installed but the computer is not turning on.
Hi everyone,
This is my first question, but I'm really struggling.
I recently bought a highly rated product here. The TT Floe riiing 360 premium AIO water cooler.
The issue arises when the 4 pin Molex cable connects into my EVGA 750W modular power supply—it makes one click and nothing powers up.
I've never experienced any problems with this power supply, and all my parts are under a year old. I've followed both the (incomplete) instructions for the Thermaltake manual and the YouTube video, and confirmed that all fan cables are connected properly to the controller, while the fan USB is plugged into the motherboard.
What I've tried so far: removing the power cable causes the computer to start normally and the pump to function (it gets power from a fan header on the MOBO).
I've tested all compatible pin connectors on the power supply.
I've used two different Molex cables with identical pinouts.
I also disconnected the RAM and HDD to check if the computer was drawing too much from the PSU, though it should have been sufficient.
Note: When I purchased the AIO, I didn't realize it required the old Molex 4-pin connector, so I had to obtain one as I misplaced the ones that came with the PSU. Therefore, I'm using ones that weren't included.
Right now, I'm running my computer with another fan that's MOBO-powered since the pump works.
I have two possibilities:
1) The pinouts on the Molex cable I received are incorrect, causing immediate grounding.
2) The fan or RGB controller I purchased is faulty.
Any advice would be very much appreciated.

AMD R9 390x

EVGA 750 g2
Can I change them myself without an ohm meter or checking pin-outs? They aren't compatible.
I'm unsure if it's feasible to switch them by hand, especially since they're difficult to locate and would require ordering a new set online.
My cable has 4-pin Molex on one side and 6-pin on the other, but only 4 connections are available.
It must be a cable made specifically for that particular PSU; using another could lead to damage of the components and/or the PSU itself.
The cables need to work together. I faced a problem with Evga and Corsair using different cables on my old computer. I mixed them up while swapping power supplies. Usually, the PSU shuts off quickly before any damage occurs. You might find an adapter for a different connector to use with the pump. For example, you could change the SATA to Molex and use an extender. The SATA and PCIe should have 12 and 3 voltage pins to match the Molex. Pumps shouldn’t draw much power, so the SATA should perform just as well as the PCIe for the pump’s power needs.
