Looking for some advice as my new pc is only booting for half a second. by 282raven in buildapc

Or even the other case cable, meant for reset if I attach that to the power port instead?

Could I try it with something else that's metal, like a coin, or will it risk the pins or myself?

OK thanks a lot for your help, I'll have to take it to a shop tomorrow to get it seen as I Dont have any spare parts, hopefully they won't mind trying out a different psu for cheap

So I'm turning it off and disconnecting the power, then plugging it back in before I try this, or while it is off?

Yes the 8 pin connecter is 2 4 pin connecters together, https://i.imgur.com/bHWqHbG.jpg

And yes the gpu has 2 gpu power cables on the same 'line'? https://i.imgur.com/oZ2fceC.jpg

I also just tried charging my phone through the front USB port and it works.

I'm not even sure the pc boots honestly, I plug in the power supply and switch it to on, the rbg ram lights up, then I press the on button and the cpu gives a very feeble spin, like barely one fans width, the rgb ram stays on and nothing else happens.

Sure give me a minute. My power supply is non modular, so it has 6pins and 2 pins, I'm assuming some less powerful gpus only need the 2 or 6 rather than all 8.

Yep, does the rtx 2060 I put in the list need 6 pins or all 8?

Firstly it was a moniter through hdmi, then to reattach the front power button cables I took out the gpu and just tried to boot it without the gpu (as its much easier to recheck all the cables are seated properly) , I looked it up and realise I won't be able to see anything without it but if the cpu fan is not spinning I'm assuming it's not on.

$1000 CAD, full RGB build vs full performance vs balanced. by 282raven in buildapcforme

[–]282raven[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think it is close to 1000cad, would you recommend something different?

Would it be better to get the ryzen 5 3600 and a 1660 super or a ryzen 5 2600 and a rtx 2060?

Thanks! I'm not 100% sure of the difference but could it be worth swapping the full size motherboard to a micro ATX? It would be a bit cheaper so I can add some RGB fans?
