Possible damage to CPU?
Last response: in Systems
Hello,
I recently got my AsRock 970 Extreme 3 motherboard for my AMD FX 8350 CPU. I first breadbenched it to see if it functions correctly. The cpu fan spun and I thought everything was good.
Then I installed the motherboard into the case and after I hooked everything up, I turned on the power supply which was an OCZ modxtreme 600W PSU. I pressed the switch and the computer turns on for 1/4 of a second and everything shuts off. I then tested the motherboard with another PSU and the fan began to spun, it would not Post nor show display... I hooked back the OCZ PSU and it also works, but turns out that the reason why it was turning off in 1/4 of a second is because the fan connector that FAN 1 is supposed to go to had molex plugged into it with the fan and the power molex also was plugged into the power supply... which I think caused a short on the motherboard... Would this do any damage to my CPU, RAM, HDD, and Video Card? Can anyone confirm it was a short and not a defective motherboard? If everything is fine what is wrong with the system?
Specs:
AMD FX8350 CPU

AsRock 970 Extreme 3 motherboard
OCZ ModXtreme 600 W PSU

Yeah will be ok, I would be more worried if it was a short on the back of the motherboard.Damage to the board can be done that way. But your fine Psu probably kicked in with it`s circuit protection, and the Psu was a quality one so it did it`s job right Phew eh !
so should I RMA the motherboard or is there a fix to it?
