[danial9]

just finished building my pc

spec 

1800x 

asus vi hero

gigabyte 1080 ti 

connected to asus monitor with display port 

 

all the fans and light turn on but no post the code on mb is A9 

anyone know the problem please help

Are you trying to overclock? Set the RAM to stock and try again.

According to my manual, code A9 means Start of Setup. Did you change any settings or is this freshly built with first-time startup?

 

This should be normal; let it cycle a few times, then it should initialize.

 

Try DVI if that's available to you. It could be defaulting the display output to DVI.

the system haven't posted , i cant even get into bois , its a first time post and its not showing anything 

[App4that]

Like Juruance said with that board anytime it's removed from power it will go through several boot cycles before it finally post. Can take a minute.

 

But if that doesn't work make sure everything is set to stock, and pull a stick of RAM. Then try it with the other dimm.

Check if you need bios update for your cpu and check all the cables again. Fan cable for cpu, for example.+

yeah i am going through the sets one by one , for cpu cable i am using 1 8pin and 1 4pin as mb manual said i can use eith 1 8pin or both 8pin and 4 pin

no post even after 4 mins

You can do with a single 8-pin CPU power connector. The extra 4-pin helps balance current load under heavier overclocks with higher voltage settings.

 

Also you should update the BIOS to the latest version.

What 4 pin? Pull that, you don't need it and if you're using the wrong one that's your problem.

The 4-pin auxiliary connector for CPU power. I use that as well, helps balance the current load so that the 8-pin CPU connector isn't working too hard.

Yes, but it takes a CPU connection, not a VGA. Very rare a power supply has a 4 pin CPU power, but common to have a VGA 4pin.

The only VGA connectors I see are 6-pin and 8-pin. In all likelihood he's using the 6-pin PCIe connector in the 4-pin CPU auxiliary. The 4-pin and 8-pin CPU connectors takes connectors that are marked 'CPU'.

Both my power supplies have 4pin VGA cables, well not just 4pin but have a 4pin on the cable. I've seen motherboard that take a 4pin VGA for multicard support to the board and that 4pin CPU. But the 4pin CPU only helps when using LN2 or other exotic cooling.

4 pin is only needed for 1.675v upwards and slow boot with ln2 on our board 

 

and Iv never seen a powersuply with a 4pin cpu connector

finally got it working after bios update , my evga 750w g3 came with 2 cpu wire both 2x4pins so i used 1 of 2x4pin and only 4pins from second one

anyone knows how to overclock ram to 3200 , i can chose the clock speed , but cant understand dram timing and shoul di leave drm voltage to auto

First set the ram to 2933MHz manually and the ram voltage to 1.35v. If when you reboot the power does NOT go out it held, if the power goes away for a monent it failled. 

 

If it works try each option until you lose power rebooting.

 

PM me with your exact model of ram and I can help dial in the timings.

Which ram are you using and which BIOS version?

Crosshair hero 6 and he new beta bios with the new agesa code 1006

corsair vengeance led 3200

if you want to help me  

[Evanair]

Have you messed around I the digital power control? Setting everything to level 5 and power to 110%?

 

Also, check your dram voltage. I cannot ever get mine to the number I plug in. My kit is rated at 1.4 volts but I have to run at 1.425 entered in the field to get it to actually go to 1.4, otherwise it's at like 1.37

Ryzen PCs need some minutes for the first boot.
