Setting up a watercooling loop shouldn't prevent a PC from turning on unless water spills. Did you properly connect the correct pins on the ATX power adapter? Connecting the pump to the Molex compatible with your LEDs could help avoid issues from faulty plugs or connections.
Installing a watercooling loop shouldn't prevent the PC from turning on unless water spills somewhere. Did you properly connect the right pins on the ATX port? Connecting the pump to the Molex that powers your LEDs might resolve issues with a faulty plug or connection. The entire system powers on correctly, but the pump isn't receiving power.
Verify the pins on the Molex plug for the pump, ensuring they are properly reinserted and making good contact. On my previous D5 model, I had to repair this issue since the pins didn't sit well. If the pump was functioning and producing noise and turbulence, it indicates power was being delivered. Even if damage occurred, some sound would still be audible. This suggests a possible problem with the power connection. Would you like me to check that?
