ive checked on asrock.com to see if the RAM is compatible with my motherboard, and it is. the power supply is a 20/24 pin connector. ive plugged that into the 24 pin socket on the motherboard.




is this a defected mobo? please help, im about to throw this build out the window

I don't own such mobo, but do you hear any beeping sound emit by the board.
as initial troubleshoot remove HDD, CD-rom aux. fans to reduce power consumption.

no i don't hear any beeping sound. i haven't even installed my ssd yet or my cd-rom. all i have is the ram,motherboard, and cpu, and nothing is showing up on the monitor.

hey im wondering, do i need both the 24 pin and the 8 pin from the power supply for this mother board to work??? my power supply only has the 20/24 pin.

I'm going to check your mobo, but based on my experience you should.
I own a Z68mobo, it has 8pin aux power too, but according to the manual I can connect a 4pin if I don't have an 8pin,
and this works for me.

lmao, i got it working! i thought u only had to connect the 20/24 pin into the motherboard. i didn't know i had the 4 pin! lol, everything is running fine, ty!

just finish downloading your manual hahahaha slow connection

from the manual
Though this motherboard provides 8-pin ATX 12V power connector, it can still work
if you adopt a traditional 4-pin ATX 12V power supply. To use the 4-pin ATX power
supply, please plug your power supply along with Pin 1 and Pin 5.

enjoy your mobo
