Posted November 28, 2021 My new build seems to be not working the motherboard RGB panel light up but no boot when I press the power button. Fans don't spin or even light up not even the lian li cables only the motherboard. Ram also won't light up. What I've done I hooked up the lian li rgb cables I decided to see if it boots and nothing. I plugged in the regular 24pin and the two 8pin and pressed the power button and nothing happened. The gpu was in its slot without power not sure if that makes a difference. The Kraken shows some sort of face then turns off. I tried the screwdriver boot method and still no response. It made a strange noise once had to describe but still nothing. I then unplugged all the drives rgb headers etc and still the same.

Posted November 28, 2021 Can you post a picture of the inside of the PC, showing as many of the cables connections as possible, and of the back of the PC? Is the CableMod cable kit new? Which specific PSU do you have and is the cable kit the Yellow or Black label set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 28, 2021 Author Black label set and yes the kit is new. At the moment I have the whole system stripped apart cable wise so I'll upload a few pictures tomorrow as it's nearly 11pm here.

I'd try using the stock cables quickly to see if the cables may be the problem. You mentioned the GPU wasn't plugged into power, did you ever try with it plugged in? If not, either try without it in the PCIe slot or plug in the power cables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I haven't tried it with power yet just got frustrated it didn't even cross my mind. Sorry working 12 hour shifts didn't even think about that just got feed up This is my kit https://www.caseking.de/CableMod-Classic-ModMesh-C-Series-Cable-Kit-Corsair-AXi-HXi-und-RM-schwarz-ZUAD-1010.html?tplview=mobile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm asking about the actual PSU, which model is it? You've only said Corsair 850w platinum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of freaked at the moment Okay, so the cable kit you have is not compatible with your PSU (unless you have the HXi model not the HX). It's a really subtle difference but important. So the kit you have (CM-CSI-CKIT-NKK-R) is compatible with the HXi (this is the RM yellow label kit BTW) But the kit you need is CM-CSR-CKIT-NKK-R, which is the RM Black label kit. On the site you linked to, this is the one you'd need: https://www.caseking.de/CableMod-Classic-ModMesh-C-Series-Cable-Kit-Corsair-RMi-und-RMx-schwarz-ZUAD-1018.html?tplview=desktop So first thing to do is use the PSU's stock cables and see if it works. If it does, return the cable kit (this is assuming you have the HX and not HXi model) and replace it with the correct one. CableMod's compatibility list, it can be a bit confusing: https://cablemod.com/compatibility/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm was missing cables from my old psu like another 8 pin because these new boards need two Also my gpu needs 3 pci cables and I had one from a different kit which worked so I said let's just buy a whole bunch of cables.

Generally, you only need one of the 8pin CPU power cables to actually run the system, the second is for extra power/stability when overclocking. Some of the cables may work and some won't. I'm not 100% on the differences between them, but it's most likely just a different pin-out on some of the cables. It doesn't make sense for Corsair to make different connectors for each PSU, so while cables from different PSUs will fit, they aren't necessarily compatible.

It's different on the power supply. Corsair Type 3 vs Type 4. Luckily type 3 and 4 are the same except the 24 pin motherboard connector. Try using the 24 pin that came with your PSU for the motherboard. https://www.corsair.com/us/en/psu-cable-compatibility Spoiler 7 minutes ago, MagnumSkyWolf said: Also my gpu needs 3 pci cables and I had one from a different kit Don't mix and match PSU cables.

Well the GPU has been working since September since I mixed a cable but you're obviously right not a very good idea. 4 minutes ago, Oshino Shinobu said: Generally, you only need one of the 8pin CPU power cables to actually run the system, the second is for extra power/stability when overclocking.

I thought it needed two the whole time man I'm stupid. Last pc I built was the start of 2017 so all this stuff is new to me thought it would be easy like before. Thanks to both of you for giving me an extra boost in confidence honestly. Sort of given up didn't really think clearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignoring the 508W power spikes that I think got fixed with updates to Ampere, that card draws a max of 390W. Your PCIE slot will deliver up to 75W, and each PCIE cable will deliver up to 150. Low loads it'll work just fine. If you have weird crashes under load, I'd look back into this. Ideally, all 3 PCIE connectors on the GPU would have their own cable going to the power supply. That would allow for up to 425W and leave some headroom. https://www.techpowerup.com/review/msi-geforce-rtx-3080-ti-suprim-x/34.html I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.
