Motherboard Short Circuiting on 8-pin ATX

[BrokenRRT]

What is the board grounded to? :) Rocking it back an forth is grounding it out I think.

Use a heat sink, I bet the CPU is instantly overheating

Hi!

My motherboard (GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R X58 S-1366 ATX) and my PSU

(CORSAIR TX 750W ATX12V 2.2 / EPS12V) will they work togheter?

I know there is an 8-pin motherboard connector on it... but it says 1x ATX12V 2.2 / 1x EPS12V, like if they were in two peaces?

Does this mean I only have to plug in one of them (which one) or do I need them both?

Thanks in advance.

what an idiot, YOU NEED A CPU COOLER, you most likely have destroyed your CPU already, and thats why it isnt booting, 200+ dollars down the drain buddy

plug ur psu into another board, if it works then your board is eff'ed. if it doesnt, then you psu is eff'ed

FF right away means the board isn't working right, which is correct since no 8 pin is plugged in. and when it is plugged in without a heatsink its insta overheating, my guess is you killed the board and CPU doing that.........

@moose51789 if the board got killd u wud have seen smoke or sparks of any kind

probaly your 8 pin connector got a short circuit in the power supply, try a 8 pin converter from a normal molex connector

The reason it doesn't work with the 8-pin is because the CPU is overheating. When you unplug the 8-pin it works because the CPU isn't powering on.

i have a cpu cooler, i'm just showing you that it runs without the 8-pin and then it doesnt with it.

OMG, DO NOT RUN IT WITHOUT A CPU COOLER silly. put a CPU cooler on it and it should run fine.
