I’m currently making a PC for my local church and had everything plugged in, it turns on and everything but the monitors won’t display anything, I use the monitors on a daily basis with another PC. I have no idea what’s happening.
Specs for the new computer:
Motherboard: Z490I AORUS ULTRA
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Super
CPU: 11th Gen Intel Core i5-11600KF
PSU: EVGA 600 GE 600w 80 plus gold
RAM: Team T-FORCE VULCAN Z 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3200
Cooling Fan: be quiet! BK030 Pure Rock Slim 2
SSD: Ediloca 2TB
 
Are you connecting the monitor to the GTX 1660 Super or one of the video ports on the back of the motherboard?

The i5-11600KF does not contain an integrated GPU.

If you have connected the monitor to the motherboard by mistake, you won't see any output.

I connected the monitors to the GPU directly
 
I need this computer running by tomorrow, I know this sounds dumb but when I was putting the GPU a clamp right next to the GPU port on the motherboard broke off, like the clamps for the RAM but it was for the GPU. Could it be that without that clamp that the motherboard doesn’t register the GPU?
 
Most of the time if the clip breaks it's no big deal............but that also depends on how and why it broke. How much force was used.

I would slip in a test GPU to check board. If that works test the GPU that won't post in a spare PC.

I didn't put much force into it, to be honest, I thought the clip was still closed so I kept pushing and it broke off, I do not have an extra GPU to test it out with, what should I do? Try refunding it? Buy another motherboard? Buy a CPU with integrated graphics?
 
Seems your stuck. Option one would be as far as making sure tomorrow happens "church" is get on offerup and get a WORKING pc to fill in for tomorrow or borrow one.

Option 2 would be testing at least the GPU in another system. If GPU works than still you might need to use option one as your still down till the motherboard issue is fixed.

If GPU shows bad, go get a working GPU at best buy or again a used WORKING one to get through tomorrow.
 
We have a PC at our church already this PC is an upgraded one I was just hoping to use the new one by tomorrow. The 1660 super was used in my old PC until I upgraded 3 weeks ago. It should still work.
