Will do thanks man! Oh is there a way to mark these forum posts as resolved or something? Or do we not need to do that?

After replacing the CMOS battery, the system seems to save the settings and goes through POST much quicker so I do believe the battery it shipped with was dead. After going over the wiring as well I noticed that one of the fan controller's had come half unplugged, this in conjunction with...

Ah so do you mean that the individual 8-pin connectors on the adapter that came with the GPU are not rated to 300W each, which is why there are 3 rather than 2? And by PCIe, I just meant that they're intended for the ports on my PSU labeled CPU/PCIe power. Is there a better term to use so it is...

Sounds good, I'll try replacing the CMOS battery to see if it just came dead since I can do that quickly, and I'll double check connections on everything to make sure nothing is loose. After looking more into the power draws I do think more headroom from a PSU is likely a good idea and I'll...

Also might be worth mentioning that it takes a decent bit to POST each time, and I always get a “new CPU” message on each startup

After a bit more troubleshooting, I was able to get the GPU to be recognized by making sure it was plugged in, and then reflashing the BIOS on my motherboard using the BIOS flashback utility. I’m able to boot into BIOS using the GPU, but I’m now getting the boot QLED (I’m not sure if this is an...
