I decided today to build a pc, not built one for a few years so a bit rusty.
I went for a Asus P5N32 SLI SE deluxe
2 gig of ram
Intel core 2 duo
A Type R 730W powersupply
2 x 512MB XFX GeForce 7950GT XT Edition (sli'd)
plus all the other core peripherals, i.e case h/d etc
Unfortunatly after building the machine I'm unable to power it on, there's power going to the psu but nothing lit up on no fans whirling on the m/b
My first question is from what I understand and have read in the asus book, that I must connect a 24 pin 12v and a 8 pin 12v to the board.
I've fitted the 24 pin no problem however noticed a blank out plate on the 8 pin port thus only giving 4 pins available.
I removed the 4 pin blank out plate to give 8 pins available however the PSU has 2 cpu 4 pin 12v power feeds (the square block connectors) hence i've fitted as below.
psu (cpu feed 1 4 block) to MB (first 4 in bank of 8)
psu (cpu feed 2 4 block) to MB (2nd 4 in bank of 8)
psu (power feed 12 24 block) to MB
but still nothing when I power on the machine :roll:
so my questions are am I doing this correct, and does my psu have enough power to drive both GPU's.
any other suggestions would be much appriciated.
Thanks in advance.
