Hello.Today I decided to upgrade my PSU from a crap Segotep ATX 500W to Corsair CX450m, 80+ bronze, 450w.I got the PSU and install it. But for some reason the PC îs not oppening at all.. I saw that the new and old one do power the leds from the motherboard but that's all. I have a ASUS PRIME B350M-K Moatherboard and I saw that when I am connecting the pins to PHD 6000 the CPU cooler fan goes for one second and that's it. I don't know that to do I already lost some money for the PSU I cant afford a new motherboard.
 
Solution
Last update:The motherboard was dead. I Found MSI B450M-A PRO Max for a decent price.If you read this and have the same issues then I am sorry you'r motherboard is most likely to be dead.
Motherboard:ASUS PRIME B350M-K CPU:Ryzen 5 1600 AF GPU:Asus RX560 4gb Oc edition / GTX 1650 LP RAM:HyperX 2400hz 8gb X2 (16) PSU:Corsair CX450m 450W / SegotepATX500W HDD:WD 1T X2 (2T)
 
Assuming the old PSU was modular as well, you DID swap ALL the cables, and only use the ones from the new Corsair?
The old one has cables built-in but I did tried the old PSU and it does the same I have a question it is necessary to connect the 4 pin PHD 6000 ? This îs the only way I can see that the PSU's give power
