Please connect the PCIe cables

[jathin.kashyap23]

So I recently built a pc, but when I booted it up for the first time, it displayed an error message saying "Please power off and connect the PCIe cable(s)".
GPU: Gtx 1080ti 11gb
CPU: I7 8700k
Mobo: Gigabyte Aorus Z370 Gaming 3 WiFi
PSU: Corsair RM1000x
Please help me out with this!!! This is my first build and the situation is making me go nuts. When I switch the CPU on, the GPU lights up and everything. And I connected the 6+2 and the 6 pin cable to the PSU as well.


EDIT: I just realized that 6+2 connector connected to the GPU weren't connected properly. I saw to it that they were connect properly and now I'm setting up the BIOS. I thank you guys so much!!!

You didn't connect the PCIe cables to the graphics card.

It needs 2x PCIe power connections.

I did connect the pcie cables to the graphics card and it does light up when I turn the unit on. And yet the error message still shows up!

Sounds like they arent connected correctly at both ends. Try a different output on the PSU?
