Antec True Power Trio 430W ATX12V Power Supply with Three 12V Rails
I have a bfg tech 680i lt motherboard (A1) , the bios has been fully updated to the latest version by BFG so my cpu is supported. I do not get any POST, i do not have any peripherals connected to make debugging easier. I realize my board has a aux pex molex connector, i never tired plugging my molex connecter into that. I have a 4 pin cpu power connector, although the mobo asks for a 8 pin. I plugged in my 4 pin ( only one way it fits) and no post. when i start my pc, yellow, green and blue L.E.Ds light up though. I think it was orange and green but im sure bout blue. I do know for a fact that 3 LEDS lit up on each startup. I have yet to clear CMOD and plug in the molex connector thing...it says its used to supply extra power to the mobo or gpu, so maybe that would help right?
tomorrow i will use my friend old socket775 cpu to test if will work with that, if it does then that means either they didnt update bios or my e8400 needs more voltage.
EDIT: I took one of my molex connection and plugged it in on the on board aux pex thingy. No luck still
My friend is lending me his old socket 775 cpu in the morning so i can test if the mobo is alive or dead, the bfg tech guys told me that it was fully tested and what not before it left the warehouse and it does have latest bios...blahh hopefully it will work with the old cpu.
Two things will happen: either my mobo is not flashed with the latest bios to support my wolfdale or my e8400 needs more voltage via 8 pin since i only have a 4 pin
someone please help me find a solution.
