    I just bought a nzxt cryo lx and when i restart my pc with the usb plug into my pc to make it run when it turns on, for some reason my monitor will just stay blank. then i have to turn off my laptop and unplug the usb plug to the cooler and if i leave it undone, everything boots like normal. Any Ideas?

    He is using the 7811FX...like the title says :p But ill give you the benefit of the doubt since your a ***dell*** user :D

    @OP this seems to be a problem that is experienced by other 7811 + cryo users, so it might be a general compatibility issue
