Then it would probably be the PSU, as that ruled out the front panel connectors. Unlikely the big named brands in your case would fail before a relatively unknown PSU would.

I've bought the new case few months ago when I upgraded my PC and decided to use old PSU. The PSU in question is Chieftec GPE-600S 600W ECO. Recently I've had an issue where I need to click power button for around 30 seconds before machine decides to start up. The case I have is H5 Flow drom NZXT. I have tried replugging front panel cabel into motherboard without any effect. I've notice once when PC was unplugged from wall that it got a bit worse and took a bit more time to start. I will put my specs bellow in case that has any effect with this. In terms of performance while system is on I don't notice any difference from when there wasn't any problems.

CPU: Ryzen 5600
Mobo: B550 Tomahawk
GPU: Nvidia 1050TI
RAM: 2x8GB HyperX Fury Black 3200MHz

PSU: Chieftec GPE-600S 600W ECO

Case: NZXT H5 FLow
Mouse: Steelseries Sensei Ten
Keyboard: Redragon Aryaman
1st Monitor: AOC 24G2 24" 1ms 144Hz
2nd Monitor: Samsung 24" something something

Also if it is a bad PSU could you recommend a PSU that could support a better GPU down the line and if this current PSU would be usable in a older system.

Edit 2: I tried jumping pins on motherboard and nothing happened, I did it for 2 seconds maybe and stopped.

Do you mean there's like a 30 second delay between pressing the power button and it turning on?

Anyways I think it would be the PSU, have you tried jumping the pins on your motherboard to see if you get the same result?

Does the PSU "seems to" start when you switch it on ?

Could be some bad contact on the PC start button/on the board

Did you try to jumpstart the PC with a screwdriver ?

As for a new PSU, choose one that suits your wattage from the "A" or "B" tier:

Where do you live? Not an exact address haha just generally

Serbia, 90% of PSU are bronze rated or lower 😅 I could try to get it from reseller instead of official shops but I'm not sure how smart is that

Preferably from an official shop, and preferably you would want a PSU from brands such as Corsair, NZXT, Gigabyte, etc. to avoid this issue from happening again.

Tis a Tier B, is quite a good one, i wouldnt jump the gun though, if anyone on here has any suggestions or anything it might help and save you splashing out on a new PSU, but if you do need to get one thats not a bad choice
