Why is the power switch not a momentary contact? Cannot use with normal motherboard as a hold causes the power to shut off.

I have the same problem. The button simply sticks and the only thing to do is push the left part which happens to be a reset button. I'm not sure if this is a defect or not. The button seems like a rocker switch and you don't want that in this situation.

Not sure what the problem is, but the power button works the same way as any other I've had before. Hold has always force shut down the system. You can probably change those settings in your OS.

Mine has worked fine with 3 different MBs. All cases use momentary contact. The reset on mine is on the same toggle as the power button...power right and reset left. Also you may have connected to the wrong pins on the MB or reversed the polarity on the connections. You are correct that holding power contact for 5 seconds is designed to activate a shutdown. Good luck!

sorry, don't know. i would send a note to corsair support. i expect they would tell you what was on their minds.

Overheating is a common reason for system shutdowns. It is weird that it would stay down for 3 hours though.Monitor the temperature for some time while using the machine. I believe the mobo came with a program for that. If you don't have it you can find such programs online.If you notice it getting hot you could try replacing the default cooling fan and heat sync with a more robust one.I usually like to have my pc setup so it runs around 40°C for normal use and does not cross 70°C when really pushing heavy programs (battlefield 3 or 4)

The relay contacts do not supply power. You use them as a switch for the power you wish routed through them.If you are that unfamiliar with power control devices, then you may consider not working with high voltage circuits.This is pretty basic stuff... the relay closures are not a switched AC outlet.

If the unit is connected correctly the power light should not stay on when the computer is turned off. If you have the unit connected incorrectly to the mother board then anything could be possible. All the units that I have the power light goes off as soon as the computer shuts down. Check your connections.

No. The power button contact will not line up with the actual face button. And I think the information cable will not reach the motherboard input. I'm not completely sure about the second one.

The case is a pretty generic when it comes to the buttons and stuff. If you plugged them in right, they should work. Try connecting the power button from your old case to the mobo (in place) and see if it works that way. The only thing I can possibly see wrong in this scenario is a bad button, unless you've plugged something in wrong...?

I don't believe the shutting off is caused by the microswitch. This problem is the control panel.

I haven't seen your motherboard but if it's like mine. I have a board with a 20 pin and and an extra 4 pin for the chip. This power supply is universal. It shows an 8 pin plug but it seperates into two 4 pin. What happens to be my board. But if you have a 24 pin. Just use the 20 and it will be fine. So if you have doubts, get it. It's a great power supply

The power button doesn't seem tow work on any of these units. (I have the 4 bay and have the same issue). Just log into the web-interface and shut it down from there.

You may be putting the power button side into the slot, try flipping it around. If that doesn't work, I'm not sure what to tell you. Good Luck!

No problem with mine. I only use it with a power supply, and it works perfectly.

This is a delayed contact closure, not a power supply. You have to supply power for it to work.From the picture it can handle upto 10A. Your led only draws 2A.

It runs off of your motherboards power so it deosnt need a special power plug from your power supply. You do need a PCI-E slot, which most modern mobos have, but I would get intouch with your mobo manufacturer to make certain.

No, that is not normal. Send it back; once I hit the enter/ power botton, I can toggle to power off and it shuts off . Hope that information helps.

The only thing I can think of is whether or not your computer is on when you try it. Other than that, I don't believe there is a power switch,(you might look it over as you may have a newer version than the two I have).

I would not be able to exactly respond to that because I use a asus z87 pro motherboard and I do not understand what the problem with the gigabyte motherboards and this psu were having...I would check on google and I am sure if you look into some more recent forums and or threads you will get your answer. I will even take a gander seeing as I have the day off and then I will get back to you about when I find out about the motherboards.

My keyboard is lit whenever my motherboard had power. You may need to contact the company for an rma for a bad keyboard.
