so we put it together and then
nothing would lit. the fans would spin for half a second and then nothing.
so we twitched the molex cable and then everyting lit up

only the screen didn't, but i read in a post that the supermicro boards could take a minute to post so i waited A WHOLE NIGHT. in the mourning stil no signal. so the screen was still out.
no beeps, only lights (video card, led, mobo)

so i removed the memory to see if i would get a beep but still nothing. i then left it on, thinking of the slow startup and went away for 5 minutes, and when i returned ONLY the mobo ligt (green light was lit). and sinds then thats it.
i was thinking it could be the power supply and buying another one which doesn't need the molex for powering 2 cpu's
i want to know your opinion, and what i can do to resolve this.

QUESTIONS
1: do i need another power supply which will power 2 cpu's without molex, and which would do.

2: did i buy the right cable (molex to 8 pin) or do i need another one

3: what could this problem be

Why did you chose a gaming GPU? You put a lot of money into the CPU's but decided to get a GPU that isn't optimized for 3d work...

It sounds to me like you have a PSU issue, but it could be ram or motherboard or CPU too. And I think you need a server power supply that has the correct connectors, using those molex converters is never advisable if it can be helped.

so i thougt i would like to have a machine which also has the possibility to play games
and as far as i know 3ds max doesn't demand as much from your gpu.
so thats why i made the decision.
but do you have any recommendation for a good psu
please sent a link
