Hi
Just testing a new system on one of those cheapie test benches off of ebay.
Motherboard is an ASUS B650M-A WIFI II socket AM5. CPU is a Ryzen 7 7700X. ASUS website says CPU is compatible
https://www.asus.com/motherboards-c...desk_qvl_cpu?model2Name=PRIME-B650M-A-WIFI-II
RAM consists of 4 Crucial 24GB DDR5 modules. Should be ok there.
BUT CPU power is another thing. There's the usual 24pin ATX connector, and a 8pin ATX power connector and a 4pin ATX power connector. I've seen two 8pin ATX sockets on server boards, but not on a "desktop" board.
My PSU only has a 8pin ATX connector. The motherboard powers up and the heatsink fan starts spinning but no POST.
I'll do some more diagnosing with the RAM sticks and see how I go.
Could not having that extra 4pin ATX power connector plugged in affect the POST procedure?
