[SOLVED] Rog strix b350 f gaming power and reset and led switches

[3dboss1993]

Hello there. I've recently changed thermal paste to my cpu and now I can't manage to plug all the cables back in order for my pc to work again. When I turn the power on I can see the pc lights on, but it won't boot. I guess I didn't plug the power switch and the other cables mentioned in the title correctly. What's the right way to do it?

or maybe you tighten cpu cooler screws too much? I did that for 3 of my 3 am4 builds :| I had exactly the same symptoms

list of affected mobos:
- asus CH VII Hero
- asus b450m tuf pro gaming
- asrock b450m pro4

In all cases the same thing ... but all worked after all.

ill try tomorrow, even tho I'm quite sure they aren't too tighten, but you never know. But I've read about many people saying that the switch cables position actually matters, and I don't understand what the right placement is anyway

Page 1-17 shows the order that plugs should go in.

** Update ** some of the switch headers also have an LED associated with them (like power and HDD). If you plug these in backwards then the LED will not work, but the switch still should.
