EVGA SR-2?

[Poet129]

I have an EVGA SR-2 is there any way to run it without the eps connectors?

WIthout the EPS connectors, the Cpu won't post, the board won't turn on.

Okay I have adapted one 4 pin eps to one 8 pin eps with only one cpu the other disabled, but only three lights come on one blue the two amber if I remember correctly.

They actually made a power supply that goes with this board that will have all the connectors you need to properly run the board. You may have to populate both to run it.

I looked it up and don't have to unless I run both cpus. I'm asking about the lights meaning.

The blue is standby and the amber just to the lower left of that blue one is the memory LEDs. When the slot is functional, the LED is on.

So nothing else means that it's not getting enough power.

Not really. The blue is an indicator that is does have power. Green is powered on just above it.

 

Do you have the correct cpu disabled? There's 2 jumpers there.

Yes I'm sure there right. There is no green light on.

Green light will be just above the blue one, won't come on until after you power it up.

 

I'm assuming a no post? Is that the issue?

Correct when I press the power button the two amber lights come on and nothing else.

The cpu is in the right side (primary) socket correct? 

What cpu and what memory? (part numbers please)

1. Correct

2. I have two x5667s and one disabled with the jumper, and a 2gb stick of ram for testing (I have more waiting).

I asked for the memory part number because some DDR3 memory modules won't work in this board. There are a few kits designed specifically for AMD and will not work with Intel rigs. 

Take note of the memory you have and be sure it's not for AMD rigs.

I have used all of them in a supermicro x8dtu-f, I'm upgrading to a better board, this is also why I assumed I didn't need the eps connectors.

The 8 pin yes. The 6 pin is auxiliary for overclocking purposes.

 

I still think you should use a proper 8 pin instead of the 4 to 8 pin adapter.

Not that I think there's anything wrong with it, I have them and used them as well, but to just remove the possibility of the PSU, won't hurt to try a different one. Preferably a higher wattage with the correct 8 pin.
