PLS HELP FIRST BUILD DOESNT TURN ON PROPERLY

[made zos ion]

different motherboards have different CPU power inputs.

[made zos ion]

wait I think you got it

[Tucci149]

its plugged in the left 4 pin conector seems to be a bit lower than the other one, idk if that means anything

[made zos ion]

oh

 

[made zos ion]

wait, how did you put the CPU in?

[made zos ion]

little to no force?

[Tucci149]

It can’t hurt. But you don’t need to build inside the case for now. You can build it outside the case (like on top of the motherboard box) for now and then transfer it when it is working. Doing this will ensure that there is nothing you overlooked when building it. When it is disassembled, carefully look at the cpu to make sure no pins are missing or damaged.

I don’t have too much experience with troubleshooting, but it sounds like a power issue through your motherboard and will likely require a rma if that’s the case. Do you have any other motherboards (and CPUs if need be) available to test with if rebuilding does not work?

I tried turning it on again and the mobo led beeped green? they are supposed to be orange, is it broken?

No other motherboards or cpus unfortunately ill rebuild it outside of the case

I'd test the PSU first

 

http://support.antec.com/support/solutions/articles/1000015319-is-my-power-supply-dead-the-paperclip-test

 

TLDR: You'll need to switch on the PSU and connect the 16th and 17th pins on your molex connector with wire (like a paper clip) and see if it turns on.

 

If that works, then I'd disconnect everything else and only leave the RAM and the CPU in and then see if that powers on. If that works, work your way up in terms of connecting things till it doesn't work

what molex connector?

[BillRizer]

My bad. I meant the 24 pin connector to your motherboard

so i need to have the 16th and 17th pins of the mobo connector touching a paper clip ?

and see if what turns on?

[Tucci149]

don't you want me to try all the components outside the case first?

Im basically almost done it? ill test the psu iif thats what you want me to do first tho  

[BillRizer]

Yes. Make sure all the other connectors from the power supply are disconnected from everything else.
