I just swapped my computers case, psu, and CPU cooler out and when I'm turning on my pc I'm getting no display and it has a orange light on the motherboard (Asus prime b660) it worked fine before but I did have this issue when I put in my new CPU a month ago but all I had to do was clear cmos and it was fine, I tried clearing cmos now and still no display. My bios was updated before I went to 13th gen and my specs are 13600k, 16gb ddr4 3200mhz, asus b660, thermaltake tough power gf1 850w, and temporary gtx 1060, 500gb WD blue sn550

ok all you changed was the case psu and cpu cooler?

#

is there anything else?

compact willow
#

Also got some cable extensions

final crow
#

hmm maybe try it without the cable extensions first

#

just as a test

compact willow
#

ok

final crow
#

cpu cable is in right? and the 24pin ?

final crow
# compact willow ok

i guess i should've asked first.. what is the orange light is under? cpu dram or boot

compact willow
#

All the cables were in all the way

final crow
compact willow
#

Should I plug the cable extensions back in or still try without them

final crow
#

try without them

compact willow
#

Ok I'll send a picture of the light after I get them all unplugged

final crow
#

just the regular cables

compact willow
#

I swapped them all and the orange light is still there + no boot

compact willow
final crow

looks like dram light

#

are the ram sticks fully seated?

compact willow
final crow
#

yoh swapped the cpu fan right?

#

cooler i mean

compact willow
#

I'm pushing down on the ram rn and it's going down a little bit

#

and yeah I swapped the cooler

final crow
compact willow
#

It booted

#

Wtf

#

could the ram come loose with me just taking out the motherboard? I never touched it when I was swapping parts

final crow
#

maybe it wasn’t fully seated to begin with

compact willow
#

Idk but I'm glad nothing was broken

#

@final crow I'm getting this now and I'm guessing it's because my cooler is plugged into my fan hub but I can't find how to set it to ignore in bios like it says

final crow
#

where did you plug the cpu fan?

#

oh nvm

#

you need to move that

#

to the cpu fan header on the cpu

compact willow
#

I have it plugged into the CPU fan plug in the fan hub

#

I thought you could do that?

#

I set it to ignore and it's fine now

final crow
#

uhh hub should not on the cpu fan?

#

not sure

#

probably shouldn’t just ignore it

compact willow
#

Ok I'll take the CPU fan off the fan hub

final crow
#

cpu fan header should be just for the cpu

compact willow
final crow
#

oh i’m not too familiar with it i’ve only ever used the fan header on the motherboard for the cpu fan

compact willow

I just like to be able to hide the cables lol
