1) see that you have this cable and this other cable connected to the motherboard and GPU respectively

2) open your motherboard manual and see whether there are other cables that should also be hooked up. For example, DFI's similar motherboard uses four power cables. Yours might have another fitting or two in places you didn't notice, so check the manual

3) having never heard of "Antler" brand cases/power supplies, my automatic assumption :evil: is that the power supply is typical feeble freebie trash and needs replacing with a good-quality PSU like Fortron, Enermax or Antec. I don't know what your other power supply is, but if it's more of the same calibre, then consider getting a high-quality power supply next.

The machine is screaming!

mechbgon I love you so so much!

It turned out I didn't plug in the ATX12V cable - I didn't know this was necessary.

Sorry for the bothers.
