So not long ago I made an order (by suggestion from others on tomshardware) ASRock Extreme 4 mother board and I have built it for ready use along with all the chassis usb audio 3x fan controller i5-3570k, patriot viper 3 ram, cooler master 112 plus and some odl parts from my old desktop a hard drive and a dvd drive.
Last night I took the 250 watt power supply from it (no possible connection for graphics card of course) and hooked the 20 pin connected to the mother board right behind the ram sticks. I was able to turn it on from the chassis power button and reset same with the reset and power button on the mother board it self. The fans were all running and the hard drive and dvd drive were on opening and turning. The only problem is.. no video when I hooked it up to the monitor.. I have a good feeling that it is because there is either not enough power and that the mother board needs also an 8 pin power connector (just above the cpu left of the cpu fan header) and probably not jsut a 20 pin but a full 24 pin for the power connector next to the ram sticks. Am I right about this or is there a faulty somewhere or used to much thermal past and could have oozed out or something?? :S...
PS the power supply came from a 2007 Compaq Presario SR8507C I believe it is? Also does the XFX pro550W 80 pluss bronze have all the right connections for me with a GTX 670?
