970 Pro Gaming/ Aura Connection Problems

[brid108]

I recently got the 970 Pro Gaming Motherboard. I'm very new to PC building but I followed the manual to the best I can and managed to get the power going and the LEDs on but the monitor says"no signal". The motherboard doesn't have an outlet to a VGA cable. My GPU is the GTX 1050 ti, I have the HDMI cable hooked up but does my monitor need the DVI cable from the GPU?

What is the model of the processor?

Its the FX-9590

Not sure if the board does support that CPU: https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/970-PRO-GAMING-AURA/HelpDesk_CPU/

Yea I was researching more and it turns out that motherboard doesnt support it, a believe it has something to do with the watts. I need a motherboard with AMD 990FX i believe.

Yes. Check firstly the CPU Support list.

Where can I find the specific list? Im now looking at the ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 which sites say is compatible.

That CPU is a complete piece of garbage and you shouldn't waste your time with it.
the lower end fx-8300 series CPUs are far better.
Just get a different CPU, not a different mobo.

Also that power supply is a fire hazard.

So i should scrap the FX-9590 and go for the FX-8350, hows the 8350 when it comes to cooling?
