[SOLVED] Aorus Gaming 7 x299 power install questions

[tommy.vercetty]

Hi... I'm building my first high end PC and I order from amazon this components:

Corsair CP-9020180-NA Fuente de Poder Modular, 850 Watts, Gold
Gigabyte X299 AORUS Gaming 7 MotherboardIntel
Intel Core i9-7960X Processors BX80673I97960X

Everithing went well until I started to use the PC for more powerfull processing (I get the next blue screen)

So I did some digging and I found it's a power supply problem... with my 850W power sorce seems unlikey but then I found that my power supply only came with a single ATX12V 8 pin cable and the motherboard has to connector...

The only cable I was able to find it's a 8 pin ATX to a 4+4 CPU split cable but everthing seems to connect well but when I start the computer nothing happen!! the only lights I see it's the RAM Led on but no one of the fans or the other lights...

Can you help me on determining whats the problem?

The power supply listed should have two EPS (4-PIN + 4-PIN), CPU power cables. If you only received one the you were shorted as cable.

1 x ATX CABLE 24-PIN (20+4)
2 x EPS/ATX12V CABLE 8-PIN (4+4)
6 x PCIe CABLE 8-PIN (6+2)
6 x SATA CABLE (3 SATA)
4 x SATA CABLE (3 SATA)
8 x PERIPHERAL CABLE (4-PIN)
1 x FLOPPY DRIVE ADAPTER (4-PIN)

You can contact the retailer and have them replace the missing cable. Or you can obtain an RMA and return the PSU, and order another one. Or you can contact Corsair customer support, and have them replace the EPS power cable.

Power supply cable adapters are a bad idea in general. Use the correct power cable directly from the power supply.

Thx for the help my friend, I don't know what happen to the cable that it's supposedly came with the PSU but my friend who olso has one of this PSU let me have his.

The real problem comes when I connect the cable! Nothing happens on the computer, only the RAM light turn on and nothing else, and I what to know why, ¿it's there a lot of power for th PSU? I'm I connecting it wrong?

The cable I have has this connector on one end:

And this on the other side:

The CPU Power connector is keyed (meaning that it can only be plugged in one way). Try reseating the RAM. Consult the motherboard manual on the RAM slots. The two paired slots for dual channel memory are usually #2 & #4 or #1 & #3, and they are often color coded.

The LED light near the RAM is probably an error indicator. That will be detailed in the manual as well. If you are now using #2 & #4 , then try other slots. If that doesn't work, then try one stick at a time in various slots. When installing the memory sticks make sure they are firmly seated and the lever on the dimm slot goes all of the way up.

Thx for the quick reply. I don't think any of that it's the problem, I'm currently ussing the PC with only one ATX 8 pin connected to the MoBo, the problem starts ONLY when I plugged the second one and disapired when I remove that cable.

Can you confirm me that 850W it's enough power for this set up:

MoBo: Gigabyte X299 AORUS Gaming 7
CPU: Intel Intel Core i9-7960X (165 W)
RAM: 4x16 XPG 2666 Mhz
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11 Gb From EVGA (250W)
PSU: Corsair TX850m Gold

Yes the 850 watts is plenty. The system requirements for the GTX 1080Ti is 600 watts. The motherboard has no specific system requirement for a power supply other than the two 8-pin CPU power cables.

Check the motherboard for the LED near the RAM.

I don't know the specific RAM that you have, but the list is relatively short. It is specific for 44 lane CPU's like yours.
