Default Cant think of a title rite now

hey everybody, i have a little problem here.

I put together my computer in the new and when i tried to turn it on, nothing starts, not even the fans. I hear weird noise from my power supply and i can see a litto bit of smoke out of it?

Is my power supply messed up or did i do something wrong. And also i have a raidmax case and it comes with all these little pins and it doesnt say do anything with it in the user manuel

I am stuck in here if anyone can help me out it'll be great

much thanks

Hya Itszztom , that doesn't sound good.. I think the psu has had it im afraid.

Either it is a faulty psu , something is shorting out , or the correct current isn't selected. Have you check if there is a 110/230 v switch on the back of the psu?

Also make sure the motherboard isn't shorting out on the case.

There should be "place holders" between the case and the motherboard to make sure it doesn't short circuit.

Time will tell if your problem is fixed but stopping any short-circuit from occurring will be a great place to start
