Aorus Elite won't power up

I'm having trouble with my new Aorus z390 motherboard.  Currently have it on the cardboard box to work on, with 9700k, air-cooler +fans, ram, HDMI, and power installed, nothing else. When I switch on the power supply, all the decorative LEDs light up for a brief second. Shorting the power button causes the cpu LED to flash twice, which according to the manual means it is not behaving normally, but no fan spin or anything else happens. Can't find any details online about what this LED means. Any thoughts? Is it a MoBo or CPU issue?

 

List of things I may have done wrong at first:

  • Over tighten the cpu
  • Put the wrong 4 pin half of the 4+4 cpu power connector in. I had assumed they'd be keyed not to take the wrong one. Hopefully the keys were designed smart enough that I just under voltaged rather than over voltaged the plug.

Use the entire 8-pin (4+4) connector, and see if the system starts up correctly.

The extra stand-alone 4-pin is optional, but the 8-pin is usually required.

You have to plug in the 8 Pin CPU connection, if you just use the 4 pin it won't work.

That's fine.

 

What did you mean by overtighten the CPU?

Update: removing the optional 4 pin power connector gave me fan spin (wasn't getting before) for about two seconds before there was smoke coming off of one of the cables. It was right where the CPU fan and 8pin power cables crossed so couldn't figure out which it was. 

 

I'm going to test my fan from a bench top psu to see if it still works. I suspect it was the 8 pin cable having trouble

By over tightening, I meant I've got a hyper Evo 212 with spring loaded screws which I screwed in all the way. Didn't particularly take much force.

Fan runs fine @12v, pulls less than 1/2 amp.  The original 8 pin was from the non-modular section of the PSU. I could try by putting the 4+4 from the modular section (which I was using for the optional 4 pin earlier) into 8pin connector, but the smoke monster makes me a bit nervous to do that with an expensive CPU installed. Is it possible to get to the bios without having the CPU installed?

Smoke coming off one of the cables? ?

 

What PSU do you have exactly?

 

And you were planning on using that CPU cooler with a 9700K?

 

Really?

Testing with that cooler from my old build until I know it can boot. Have a water cooling loop once it does.   

The PSU, also from my last build, is a Corsair cx500m. Should be plenty for just testing the CPU without GPU. New PSU with enough modular plugs for GPU is in the mail.

 

Smoke indicates too much current, which might mean a short, or that the 4 pin cable wasn't actually optional. I measured resistance between 12v and gnd on the 4 and 8 connector. I got 475ohms which assuming a constant 12 v comes out to 25mA or .3 watts, at least in the powered off state.  This is obviously not entirely accurate as there are plenty of non-linear components.

 

Not sure if what other circuits, if any, is powered by these connectors.  As in, not sure if there is some switching action which will open up a short to ground when powered on.

Those PSU's are very known for killing systems and shouldn't even be in the same city as your system.

 

Take the PSU and trash it.

 

Once the NEW PSU comes in see if that works, if not then the PSU you have now fried the MB and possibly everything else attached to it.

 

And how did you connect both CPU power connections when the PSU only has one CPU power connection?

 

And what PSU do you have coming?

Lol okay. Had assumed it was fine as last build (dad's cast off) had no problems. Then assumed recognizable brand name would be decent quality when old PSU was having problems. Limited to phone now, so takes more effort to do research. Thanks for the help. I'll order a decent one and update you at that point.

never do that with psus... even well known ones as EVGA, Corsair, Cooler Master, Thermaltake, seasonic, Be quiet, FSP and many more have their bad units
