So I got my new cpu(fx 8320) and mobo(gigabyte 970a d3p) today and after 7 hours of trying to get my setup going, my friend and I exhausted all options and figure the mobo is DOA. We figure the cpu fan pin connector was faulty, as I have read that some motherboards will simply not BOOT if it doesn't sense the fan is plugged in and working. Is this true with the particular board I have?
Anyways, every component seemed to work but the thing would just not boot.
So here is my question to you guys as I;m hesitant to get the same motherboard again. With my current setup that I will list below, what is a good mobo to get around $120 tops from WWW.CANADACOMPUTERS.COM
Setup:
AMD fx 8320 + Hyper 212
Geforce GTX 760 oc 2gb
8gb g.skill ripjaws
500gb hd
650w coolermaster
24" lcd
" NEED MOBO "
I would appreciate it.... today was not a fun day.
