I didn't quite catch what mobo that is but according to this you might have a short or a bad PSU.

If you modded your cable and incorrectly placed them you could have killed a component, you should really multi-meter your connections before putting it in a system.

i cant find what readings each wire is supposed to be some are 12 some are 9

There should be no 9V lines, always keep your negative end of the multimeter on a Grd line, of course you need to use the paperclip method to turn the PSU on.

Here I have a post up for all the diagrams, under the PSU Pinout and Diagrams:

What the hell? you modded your PSU without knowing what goes where? Do me a favor and stay way from anything electronic.

What component did that plug into? 

 

If it's a GPU or something like a HDD remove it from the PC and see if it can post properly.

i have 0 post what so ever 

 

this morning i got it to the bios but it was only in bios for 10 secs before shutting off. Im rechecking ALL of my pins but might just say fuck it get a modular supply and then have my cables sleeved by someone who knows what the fuck their doing. 

 

Iv looked at all pinnouts everything but when i just connect the 24 pin it says FF as expected no other plugs

 

When i plug in the 4 pin at the top of the board it changes a whole bunch of times then goes to 66 then crashes after it tries super boot 

 

then when i plug the 8 pin at the top it crashes faster 

 

i plug the gpu power cables in and sometimes it will boot to bios for a fraction of a second

Even without the GPU it's giving the FF post, have your tried just one stick of RAM. 

 

Test the GPU in another system if you can and I guess last ditch effort clear the CMOS by removing the battery for about 5 mins and reinstalling.
