Why won't the 850 work? What does the eps 850 Athena have that a 850w PSU won't?

Thank you

That is why I came here... to see if there was something I was missing (IE I month ago I did not know AMD s cared A LOT about the RAM speed)

congrats on 500 posts the Ram is actually all 24 GB sticks ( i did not build that part)... the drives are different models. Video card, CPU and MOBO I believe are correct

Yes it ran on the corsiar for a while. Thank you for asking questions to understand me

So either corsair died in a a day, OR one of the rails on the corsair is not high enough ** I bought two corsiars other ins n my new ryzen 5 build... I am not excited to test with it... slight ly more ok waiting a week to replace the corsair... IF we are 112% confident the corsair is big enough

3 years ago go the PC, 500 W antec worked for a while Tried 3 other 500 W Antecs- none worked Installed Athena - still works but a fan is going out Installed Corsair sunday afternoon Ran left running Monday night dead Tuesday when i got home Yes athena (esp psu) works today but ATX corsair does not a Kilawat watt meter reports draw with athena is under 400 W does turn on with eps (athena)

It powered on yesterday after install, Ran for 3-6 hours , whent to bed, it was working in the morning, got home form work. it was off, and wont power on. It did a similar thing 3 years ago with 500 W antec power supply's, non of the 500 what antecs worked after that, but this 850 athena did so the corsair may had died...

not change after checking the cable. Note: thys system did not work with 500 W antec power supplies either.

Not likely (but i am checking) new corsair with the 4 pin firmly connected to the 20 pin. Ran for ~ 1day (12=18 hours)

ATX mother board

I had a Athena Power 850 W EPS Power Supply the fan was going out so I replaced it with Corsair CX (2017) 650 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply And it won't power on. I swapped the Athena back in (except drives) and it powers on. What replacement power supply do i need? I did not like how loud the Athena is, the Corsar was 1 short on SATA power * The RAM and Drive config is a pit different but did not look like it would be the cause "wont power on system" https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rGt4dm Does power on PCPartPicker Part List Type Item Price CPU Intel Core i7-990X Extreme Edition 3.467 GHz 6-Core Processor Motherboard Asus Rampage III Formula ATX LGA1366 Motherboard Memory Patriot Viper II Sector 7 Edition 24 GB (6 x 4 GB) DDR3-1333 Memory Storage Samsung 860 Evo 500 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive $69.98 @ Amazon Storage Western Digital Caviar Blue 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive $44.75 @ Amazon Storage Western Digital Caviar Blue 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive $44.75 @ Amazon Storage Western Digital Caviar Blue 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive $44.75 @ Amazon Video Card EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2 GB FTW ACX Video Card Power Supply Athena Power 850 W EPS Power Supply $109.98 @ Amazon Optical Drive Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer $19.85 @ Amazon Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total $334.06 Generated by PCPartPicker 2019-11-20 01:01 EST-0500

What are your thoughts on DDR4 3000 vs. PC 3200 RAM? Would there be a noticeable performance difference? Or just better benchmarks? Factorio, Davinci resolve missed Minecraft

How can i verify this board will not need a BIOS update: Some AMD B450 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Matisse CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions.
