Is XFX PRO650W Compatible with ASUS Prime Z370-P (and i7-8700k)?

[Bonglord]

I have been having problems possibly power related to my new motherboard and CPU and I've not been able to figure out what's wrong. The PC will crash/power off unless on safe mode.

I think it may be to do with power because the CPU power connector on my PSU does not match the shape on the motherboard ALTHOUGH THEY WILL CONNECT. e.g. there are rounded shapes on the cable that will slot into the square shapes on the motherboard slot because they are smaller.

Does this mean I will need to buy a new compatible CPU or do the shapes not need to match if they fit in anyway?

The shapes don't match for any power supply. Have you tried reinstalling Windows?

Alright, thanks for your fast response. Yes, I've tried a lot of things. The thread for those problems didn't have any solutions :/

You're welcome. Same issues with graphics card removed?

Yep. In fact, that was me just trying the new motherboard I received after returning the old one thinking it was defective and my PC still isn't working so I think it must be the CPU that's not working (I tried each 4GB stick of RAM separately and the same problem occurred so I'm negating that as the problem). Going to get a new CPU sent out ASAP.

What exact memory using and what video cable?

2x4GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200MHz. Video cable? Using Display Port output, PCIEx16 slot and 8 pin PCIE cable. I have built many PCs in the past and this is the first problem I've had.

Try leaving single RAM installed and testing different video cable (DVI or HDMI). The displayport is not reliable when troubleshooting.
Test each RAM slot in single RAM configuration.

I have already done this and with dual DVI.

Then it might be a power supply issue. Try RMA-ing it, since under warranty.

Not sure it is. Works fine with my older components of similar power usage.

If power supply ruled out, then board and/or CPU.
