New build pc not power on at all

[peak musk]

Currently building a new pc following the LTT guide, was testing it before putting it in the case but absolutely nothing is happening

@pallid zephyr

[pallid zephyr]

psu switched on?

[peak musk]

Ye

First thing I checked

[pallid zephyr]

is ur ram meant to be slots 1 and 3 btw? usually its 2 and 4…

[peak musk]

Uhh lemme double check

[pallid zephyr]

mobo manual will say

[pallid zephyr]

what does it say about them, theres a little 1 underneath so im guessing theres a footnote

[distant nimbus]

You have front panel pins in for power. They don’t look correct for power from what I remember on fpanel

Should be the first 2, no?

[pallid zephyr]

oh i was assuming he was using a reset button on the board, check that

[peak musk]

what should I check huh

This?

@pallid zephyr also

Does this mean the ram should be in 2nd and fourth slot?

[pallid zephyr]

it says on the 'system memory' page, just pulled up your manual online

you want the middle one, so in stop A2 and B2

shouldn't be whats preventing it booting though,

[distant nimbus]

5v/cpu in?

1 dimm to post ddr5 first always btw

[peak musk]

This?

[pallid zephyr]

thats optional

if you had a really beefy cpu you would want the extra power

[peak musk]

uh then which one is not optional

[pallid zephyr]

youre good

[peak musk]

So I should remove one stick?

[pallid zephyr]

ive never had issues with 2 sticks but its worth a shot

[distant nimbus]

Yes

[peak musk]

Still nothing

[pallid zephyr]

i know i already asked but your psu is on right

[peak musk]

yes

[distant nimbus]

What I was about to ask

[pallid zephyr]

as in here

not just the wall

[pallid zephyr]

ok good good

[distant nimbus]

As you’re a first time builder, you did drop the cpu in slot, right?

[pallid zephyr]

can you list your part list?

[peak musk]

First thing I did

[peak musk]

One sec

[pallid zephyr]

im thinking maybe it could need a bios flash to support the cpu

[distant nimbus]

So there is literally no power on at all?

[pallid zephyr]

not a bios issue then

[peak musk]

ram is different brand, it’s Kingston

[pallid zephyr]

interesting

[peak musk]

could it be a problem with power supply?

[pallid zephyr]

it would be suprising

[distant nimbus]

Possible outlet problem also

Is it powering on at all? Even if for a second to spin a fan?

[peak musk]

I have a monitor connected to the same outlet and that’s working

[peak musk]

Nothing at all

[pallid zephyr]

how are you turning it on? pc button

try just shorting the pins with a screwdriver

[peak musk]

ye I connected pc button

[distant nimbus]

I feel it’s an fpanel issue. Sure correct case pins are being used?

[pallid zephyr]

^ eliminate the case variable

[distant nimbus]

Agree to short the pins

[peak musk]

one moment

[distant nimbus]

Okay I just realised you’re 9070xt

Try it without the 9070xt also

[pallid zephyr]

good idea

[distant nimbus]

I’ve seen a few DOA stopping boot up

[peak musk]

just take it out all together?

[distant nimbus]

Yes

Bare minimum you need on the board. CPU. 1 dimm and nvme.

Remove any extra fans etc. ensure just 1 fan header plugged in, the cpu header

[peak musk]

only 1 fan is plugged in

[pallid zephyr]

in the cpu fan header?

[peak musk]

ye

[distant nimbus]

And also check the cable for the cpu and PCIe is correct. Many PSU have similar or same connections and won’t boot when wrong cable is used. Just ensure the label as easy to mess that up if new to it too

[peak musk]

One sec taking out gpu

Still nothing

[distant nimbus]

Tbh looks like your dimms were in wrong slot for 1st also. As should be 2 and 4. But you only need 1 Dimm in slot 2 now

[pallid zephyr]

they are 2 and 4 now

[peak musk]

I did

Took out one stick

[distant nimbus]

Wait

Duck me

Your atx 12v isn’t in on the psu side

[pallid zephyr]

is that not it

oh wait

[peak musk]

atx 12?

[pallid zephyr]

🤦‍♂️

[distant nimbus]

It’s not in, top left

It won’t power on then

[peak musk]

For the cpu?

OH

[distant nimbus]

That’s the 24pin one

You get that in and I reckon you’ll be sorted mate

[pallid zephyr]

theres 2 on the power supply end

[peak musk]

Ooh

[distant nimbus]

You have it on the motherboard just not the psu 🙂

You have 2

[peak musk]

Both need to be plugged in?

[distant nimbus]

You need both in, it should be split

Both need to be in on that one

[peak musk]

YO

ITS SPINNING

[pallid zephyr]

shove the gpu back in and the other ram stick and youre gold

good spot dethriguez

[peak musk]

OK

I FKING LOVE YOU GUYS

[pallid zephyr]

gpu all good?

[peak musk]

lemme check cables it’s not spinning

[distant nimbus]

It’s 0 rpm

[peak musk]

im not getting anything through hdmi for gpu

@distant nimbus

[peak musk]

Do I press Y?

[distant nimbus]

First build so press Y.

Likelihood is mobo been used in a test system at some point between manufacturer and shipping to you at retailer

[peak musk]

Aah ok

bro thank you guys so much like actually

[pallid zephyr]

also consider using displayport

[peak musk]

Uh is it normal for a cpu to idle at 42

Or do I gotta take off cooler and reapply thermal paste

[pallid zephyr]

great, now watch a video telling you what to do once youve built your pc, i think jayxtwocents has a good one

[pallid zephyr]

yeah thats fine

enable expo and stuff

[peak musk]

I will

This is an old monitor that doesn’t support dp

Didnt wanna bring my big one downstairs

But actually thank you so much bro I was stressing so hard lmao

[pallid zephyr]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhHtHMQygzE check this out

[peak musk]

Will do

I’ll finish putting it in the case first

[pallid zephyr]

tells you about expo and all that stuff

yeah all good

have fun

[peak musk]

Thanks!

[distant nimbus]

Paste hasn’t cured yet

So don’t worry about temps unless throttling for a few days
