Asus crosshair V Formula-Z wierd might have short circuited it

[michael5532]

I was putting in a fan to my spare computer while it was on and i accidently powered it by molex and 4 pin on board then it sparked. I shut it down and restarted it and everything works fine except the 4 pin header. I now have a 9590 and a m5a99fx pro r2.0 and it is overheating and freezing. Should i try putting the 9590 in the formula even though it sparked and the 4 pin fan header doesnt work?

First off, that CPU is a DISASTER and will almost ALWAYS overheat unless you have an expensive water-cooling set-up. So sadly, you shoulda went with the 8350/8320. Never the less, if the CPU fan header doesn't work then don't even try to plug in a monster-hot CPU like that since it would multiply the overheating problem. My suggestion would either be buy a proper FX-8000 series (Same performance, lower clock and cooler running) or grab up a really expensive water cooling loop. I suggest the former option, as it's easier to just swap out a different CPU.

i recently upgraded from a 8320 to a 9590 dont ask why. Had the money and was bored. Its not the cpu header just some opt_fan2 header. There are enough other fan headers than work to power all the fans in the 600t i am housing it in.

lol well since you want that CPU I would also suggest using the Crosshair board. I have the M5a99FX PRO as well and I think the TDP only goes up to an 8350. I think the 9590 is simply too power-hungry for any board less then a $200+ board. Most boards can't handle the higher wattages that FX-9000 series provide other then the more expensive ones, (like the ASUS ROG boards, including your Crosshair)

So I should try the formula z even though a opt fan is shorted?

Yes plug your cpu fan in a different hedder and use it, just disable the shorted out opt fan in the bios and you should be good.

Thank you very much for your repsonse (everyone). I will try that today and come back with some results. One more off topic question the crosshair v formula Z has a 8+4 pin but my rm 750 only has one eps connector. I have another build with a 4790k and a ax860i and it has two eps but i only use one. Would i be able to use the eps on the 860i in the rm750 or i should just buy a connector piece.

Hold up, i'm having trouble understanding. What is an rm750, and an ax860i?

Just use the EPS connector you have now.

Just use the EPS connector you have now.

I ended up just changing boards and manually undervolting and underclocking until it became stable. I undervolted it to 1.32V and to 4.5Ghz. Still a 1Ghz upgrade from my 8320. Thanks for the help.
