[SOLVED] Why isn't my monitor receiving input?

[cadok5]

I have built a new computer with all completely new parts. When i start up the PC it seems to all be working well on the inside, fans running and LED lights on. However, when I try to get it to connect to my monitor it says "NO SIGNAL".
I have tried many "fixes" for this. First, the cables and monitors are fine because they were used on my last PC and worked perfectly. Secondly I have attempted to use both a Display Port cable and an HDMI cable. On top of that I have attempted to plug both of these cords in both my CPU and GPU. I have also attempted to boot with one stick of RAM. I have booted with my SSD removed. I have removed my GPU and firmly replaced it into its slot. I have moved the GPU into a second available slot.
None of these have helped.
I have a RTX 2080 ti and an Asus Prime Z390-A. Please help.

Yeah, only 9 standoffs under there?

Trying to trace where the cooler wires are going, cant really see properly zoomed in. There's a wire heading off to the left. Are they connected in that pic? And correct orientation into the plug?

That's fine, no standoff where it shouldn't be. Try start the motherboard outside the case. Short the pwr pins if cant reach it with the case power button.

The motherboard alone? Or along with the CPU? And do I need the cooling system with them?

 

[boju]

Yes, install cpu and attach power cables to the motherboard. Try without gpu first.

Edit, yes need the cooler.

I edited my post. Put the cooler on.

 

[boju]

Thanks for the pics btw. Can you post another pic like your last one with the cooler on.

yeah i had to get the radiator out of the case, took a little bit

No problem. You're very quick actually 😉.

Ok now attach cpu_fan and cpu_pump headers near the first ram slot and see if you get a display from onboard graphics.

I cannot find a place called "cpu_pump". Is there possibly an alternate name? I see cpu_opt right next to cpu_fan.

 

[boju]

Cpu opt is the one for pump.

See this video too to make sure you're installing the cooler correctly.

 

[boju]

Actually use the cpu_fan header for the pump, it's better that way.

AIO liquid cooler plug into cpu header or water pump header

Hi, I recently bought a corsair h100i v2 cooler, and I'm wondering which header to plug the pump into. I know that in the manual it says to plug it into the CPU_FAN header, but my motherboard has a dedicated water pump connector (the ASUS Z170-A). I'm wondering if I should plug the pump into...

forums.tomshardware.com

I did not realize the cooler had 2 places for cables, I did not have these in before.

 

[boju]

I could be wrong but thinking the system wouldn't display because the cooler wasn't installed properly and motherboard preventing operation to save your cpu because motherboard doesn't know if your cpu is being cooled.

We'll see.

 

[boju]

Partly the reason why i asked about cpu_fan headers earlier because same with this for air coolers, if these aren't connected the motherboard doesn't know if cpu is being cooled and doesn't give it power.

If sata power cable is what you meant wasn't plugged into the block, the pump wasn't getting power and the whole thing would have been unresponsive to the motherboard.

Yep I did not have the sata cable in, but in the video he plugs in something at 4:30-4:35 and im not sure what cables go into the 4part split.

figured it out, my fans on the radiator plug in there

 

[cadok5]

Now do I attempt to plug a monitor in?

 

[boju]

Sorry was looking at the video to try make sense of it, yeah try it now. Honestly i've never installed an aio so i need to look at the instructions to see where the cables go. I kind of have an idea but for you id want to be sure. Wish @Karadjgne was awake right now, hes installed gazillions of these.

This is what happened.

The fans did not turn on.

 

[boju]

Im thinking the fan wires aren't where they're suppose to be, or at least with one of them, im contradicting the video here. I didn't see any cpu_fan header in that vid either.

Having a look at the instructions

https://sta3-nzxtcorporation.netdna...678/Kraken_X42X52X62X72-manual-092818-web.pdf

Sorry for caps, was copy/paste.

POWERING THE FANS :
Connect the fan cable to the first fan connector on the power cable set with 4 pins.

CONNECTING THE PUMP TACH :
Connect the 3-pin connector on the power cable set to the 4-pin CPU_FAN connector on the motherboard.

CONNECTING THE SATA POWER CABLE
Connect the SATA power cable on the power cable set to the SATA power cable from the power supply

CONNECTING USB CABLE
Connect the Mini-USB cable from the pump to an available USB 2.0 internal connector on the motherboard.

--

Reading that, 1 of the fans connect to the cable you mentioned in the video, the other 3 pin to the motherboard cpu_fan. Sata connected to power supply and usb connected to usb 2 header on the mobo, there are 4 usb2 headers on the mobo.

 

[boju]

Or is it both fans connect to the power cable set and the end of the cable set into cpu_fan. Lol sorry.
