Hello,
Before i begin with my case i will post my specs...
MB: Asus Sabertooth P67
CPU: i7 2600K
GFX: AMD 7970
PSU: Corsair 750W
RAM: 4x4GB Corsair Extreme
Cooling: Corsair H60
HDD/SSD: 1x Force 3 120GB SSD, 10TB of various HDD (5)
Cabinet: Fractal Design XL R2
Yesterday i got my new cabinet and decided to move my computer to it.
Now it worked perfectly fine, no sounds nothing in the old cabinet, but a lot of cable clutter and such and not enough room for disks.
I was very meticulous in disassembling and reassembling the machine and thought it all went perfectly, but when I tried to start the machine nothing popped up on screen, i figured cabling, screen card or MB had to be the problem (before I continue I just want to add I have already gone through the list), so i tested all if it and its all in.
Highly doubt its the PSU, everything including disks seem to be alive.
Also there is a sound the seems to originate around the CPU that i dont like, it comes instead of the standard POST check sound.
Anyways, the last thing i tried was unplugging the power from the screen card and booting, and after also unplugging the RAM and boot, neither of these produced any sound, so I believe it never gets to POST check, which means the MB is fried.
Can someone with a lot of experience confirm my suspisions?
Also, I'm wondering... how would I notice it if it was the CPU? Does it POST anyway?
And lastly I guess this is a stupid question, but if I did something wrong assembling the water cooling, could the MB notice this and stop boot before POSTing?
