Help A New Guy Out

[Mtone32]

Hello everyone,

 

First time builder here, I just assembled my first PC and went all out for my dream build. I’m still new to PC building and am obviously very paranoid that I did something wrong. I assembled everything correctly as far as I know and I was able to install windows but when I boot I don’t hear the single beep that I have been told I should. If anyone can provide any insight for me I would really appreciate it. 
 

Asus Maximus XI Hero

Intel 9700k

Samsung NVMe M.2 1TB

Gkilll Trident RGB 3600 mhz

NZXT Kraken X72 360 AIO

Asus Rog Strix 2080TI (Pending Installation)

Corsair 750 RMX

Lian Li 011 Dynamic Razer Edition

Yes boots properly has done so multiple times. And have done a clean instal of Windows 10 and the code on the motherboard reads A0.

My bad it's Asus so A0 doesn't mean it's fine compared to Gigabyte.

Welcome!

 

You said you have already set everything up and that you have installed windows, so ill assume everything works, but the beeps.

Back in the old days, you would receive a speaker either soldered onto the mainboard or as a seperate item you had to plug in, like your power and reset button.

These days, this is often replaced with LED's or a small LCD display that will show a code, not many mainboards that still come with a speaker (they generally do have the connection for it tho).

 

If everything is working fine, and you're not getting a beep, don't worry about it

Thank you for the link I read over some of the possible solutions for that error code. I definitely have the standoffs in place as they were pre installed. The cpu 8 pin is secured in its socket however I don’t have the additional 4 pin hooked up because there wasn’t one included in my power supply. I will try to update the BIOS and see if that helps resolve the issue.

You don't really need that 4 pin, the 8 pin already delivers up to 384W.

 

Are your rams in A2/B2 ? (2nd and 4th slot from the left)

Have you plugged the tiny/case speaker to the motherboard speaker header?

Yes sir I used the primary DIM slots as labeled on the motherboard which are in fact the ones you have described.

If your referring to the hd audio header that feeds off the case then yes I have

Well then if it boots properly and you don't have any BSoD, everything is good

Page 1-21 in the manual.

The speaker header is left to the F_panel header.

If you haven't connected it (the small speaker), there's nothing to make the sound you want to hear.

Nope I sure didn’t thank you so much now I have to hunt that cable down and plug it in. Would it be included in the additional mother board cables or the power supply.

Case speakers like this

Are usually bundled with the case or the motherboard.

It is not a "cable" and most certainly doesn't come with the power supply.

Thank you for all your help apparently it is not included with either my motherboard or my case so it seems that for now the hunt has ended.

I would still recomend obtaining a one. A local PC / Computer hardware store or repair shop might have them, might even give you a one for free.

Or you might order it from somewhere (eBay, Aliexpress, Amazon, etc).

 

Do you have an older system, one you could take the speaker from?

No but I plan on ordering one from Amazon.
