How far did u overclock it? 
Seriously though, is it enabled in BIOS?

Double check and make sure you have floppy cable on new board with pin 1 in right place. I make that mistake once and won't forget that one.

Yeah.
Possible reverse the cable, on my FD there isn't any mark for the pin 1 so it's just trying.
My case has so many fans that it hovers above the ground 
.
Yeah it's enabled in the BIOS and no I haven't overclocked yet 
I also checked the cable and having it in the right spot because I did the same thing with my HD earlier hehe... Also sorta hard to do since it has a clip on it.
Is your floppy light burning continuously after you started the system. If so the cable will be attached wrong although it has a clip.

Have you tried it with another cable?

I'm not trying to be an a$$hole.
The floppy cable connector on the motherboard is keyed so its hard but not impossible to plug it in the wrong way.
The end that connects to the floppy drive has to be a terminated end. The end of the cable that plugs in here has a small bundled twist in it.
On the floppy drive the connector soldered to the circuit board will have a number 1 or 2 silk screened on one side of the connector. This designates the #1 pin on the cable. The #1 conductor on the floppy cable has a stripe on it.
When connecting the floppy cable to the floppy drive make sure the stripped side of the cable plugs into the connector on the drive so the stripe lines up with the #1 or #2 silk screened on the floppy drive circuit board.
(It sometimes has a #2 on it because the #2 pin on the connector is the first hole drilled on the circuit board.)
Again make sure the connector on the floppy cable plugging into the drive is the last connector on the cable and it has a small bundled twist in it. (You can still get floppy drive cables that have master and slave connectors on them.)
Last but not least don't forget to plug in the mini 12V power connector to the drive.
