>>58558721
actually the worst scenario is you shorting out the motherboard i suggest you unplug everything and go one by one

>>58558721
GPU probably not properly connected to the rail (push it in hard). Could be PSU has not enough power though.

>>58558778
>GPU not connected to the rail
You mean the PCI-E or the cables that go PSU-GPU?

If the PSU doesn't has enough power that would be a great reason to swap the PSU to one that lets me take the cables off (seriously, my cable management its a mess of unused wires). But that would still be a kick in the balls. I use a non-Overclocked single GPU air-cooled computer with a 750 watts PSU. I thought it would be enough.


Extra detail: Used thermic glue on the GPU core and the CPU core. Could this be a sign of fucked up cores by me using it badly? I used Titan Nano Grease and i thought it was odd how liquid-y it was.

>>58558886
couldnt you fucking just put it together like a normal person without trying to tinker around with it

Tried using the power switch cable of the motherboard both ways and ended up with the same results.

>>58558898
So now using thermal glue its tinkering around and not building a computer like a normal person?

youve got a short on one or all of these

>>58558906
yea it is, atleast for a first time building unless you can risk fucking up your hardware

>>58558920
Well fuck me at least. I just used a small amount of paste on the CPU core but i spilled out a little on the GPU core. I just want to know if this issue is due to the GPU or if its something else. I really want to start up a computer built entirely by me.

>>58558931
thats not the way to start, there is no shame in paying someone who has done it a 1000 times 10 bucks and getting it build without worrying that you fucked up something and that you may have to waste hundreds of dollars on new stuff. you should have started building with your older computer, assemble and disassemble so you can get the hang of it

>>58558952
that computer IS old.

Its an old 5 year computer that i dismantled, swapped case, and rebuilt.

I didn't want to pay someone because i also wanted to learn how to this shit myself.

The issue is that there isn't much i could have done wrong. I dont recall connecting something the wrong way.


If you believe that this issue IS a GPU fucked up i can take the GPU off and send a picture of the core (and see if the thermal glue spilled really fucked up).


But like i said, i would like to get around every possibility. I have no idea what could have gone wrong.

Another detail, i cant seem to fully connect the P1 pinout from the PSU to the MOBO pins. There's a very small gap and i already forced that shit in so much that the motherboard itself bends slightly inside. Could it be that i just need to press it more?

you need one of these puppies

>>58559010
dont most mobos have a speaker on em already

>>58559010
the case's speaker? i had it on and off and the issue did not change. It did come with only 2 pinouts tho. No idea if that and he issue are related.

>>58558978
you cant just start doing something without any previous training

>>58559019
Yeah, but not integrated.

>>58558997
Put a finger underneath the motherboard for support.

>>58559035
Fuck that pal. I know that building a computer its not rocket science. Depending on WHAT i did wrong it could be anywhere from some fucked shit up to something that i personally messed up.

>>58559039
Not enough space. The MOBO doesn't has enough room on the behind to place the finger. Still, i am gonna try with more strenght tho.

Make sure your motherboard is screwed in to the standoffs

>>58559035
You're retarded, congratulations

>>58559059
yea yea keep making excuses for being either too stupid or too cheap,have fun wasting money

>>58559075
Thanks for your input anon you sure are helping me so much into being a beta depending cuck and pay someone else to do something i can do and learn for myself.

>>58559098
i told you the first time you non listening fuck, learn with something that doesnt cost you a shit ton of fucking money

Ok so its not the PSU-MOBO cable nor the speaker of the case.

>>58559121
I told you its already a 5 year old computer. This IS the practice computer.

You fucked up the cabling, the ram seating, or something else.
You fucked up lego, somehow.

It not booting is a 'whoops can't boot like this!' signal, not a 'shit is broken' signal.

What are the specs?

>>58559167
>You fucked up the cabling
MOLEX on the rear fan, PSU connectors one to the DVD drive another one to the SSD, and the GPU cables to where they should be. I dont think there's a high chance i fucked up cabling.

>the ram seating

i REALLY wish that i fucked that up, but i am afraid i am not that dumb either.

>or something else

No shit.

>It not booting is a 'whoops can't boot like this!' signal, not a 'shit is broken' signal.

That's the thing. Its not even sending me to BIOS. It just spins for half a second and turns off. No BIOS splash, no load up, nothing.

>>58559181
i5 2500k, sapphire 6950 and 16 gb DDR3 RAM. Bronze quality 750 watt PSU and a 250 gb SSD. Using a hyper evo 212 as CPU cooler too.

>>58559216
take it apart and do it again,everything GPU, CPU, RAM

>>58559227
In the entire process the CPU was not taken out of the MOBO. Already tried reinserting the ram with a single stick (after cleaning the pins) and no luck. Other than the GPU i am out of ideas.

>>58559266
why not just connect the old GPU and try then to see if its a problem with the new gpu or something with the mobo

>>58559287
I am afraid i have no spare GPU. Nor do i have an old GPU (the 6950 IS the old one).

I am right now about to take it apart and see if the thermal glue actually messed up the core.

>>58558721

you did plug in BOTH of your mobo power cables, correct?

>>58559345
to be honest if i was you i would have atleast gotten a new gpu before upgrading

>>58558721
This was what happened to me in my first build, and it was the PSU. lights/fan would come one for one second then it would all die, no beep.

As soon as I connected a working PSU it came alive. Check your connections but dead PSU is a real possibility.

>>58559395
uh..... You mean PSU-MOBO cables? i think my PSU only has one.
>>58559402
Let me tell you what i did and why:

I dont have money to upgrade. I have unlocked hardware, so i decided to overclock. First i need a new case and new coolers, so i got them. Now i am trying to get everything to work so that i can proceed to overclock.

I dont have money to get a new GPU.

>>58559416
Oh for fucks sake. I think that there are no more cables left to connect and everything its fine. If its truly a dead PSU or underpowered one, getting a new ones will be a rape to my wallet.

>>58558721
make sure your cpu and mobo power connectors are inserted properly faggot
You may thank me later

>>58559516

there is a smaller connector specifically for your CPU. If it is not plugged in your CPU will not have power and your computer will start and immediately power off.

make sure any cables for the CPU are connected properly

>>58559523
Oh and make sure the cpu connectors says CPU on it a 4+4 pin CPU connector is not the same as a 6+2 pin PCIe connector

>>58559534
Wait, i think i spotted it. Is it a 4 top 4 down 8 pin connector on the MOBO directly?

>>58559580


rofl yes

>>58559587
Fuck.

As soon as i get the GPU back together i will try again.

Should i try with the 4+4 connectors or the 6+2?

>>58559603
only 4+4 as I said earlier 6+2 is for PCIe only NOT cpu

Try booting without gpu see if it stays powered on or not

ITT: anon manages to fick up moving parts from one case to another

>>58559707
also replacing gpu's thermal paste
>implying the stock thermal paste is going to cause it to throttle at all

How much thermal glue is too much thermal glue?

>>58559730
that much if its conductive

>>58559730
Any at all, you're supposed to use thermal paste, not glue

>>58559728
Oh right, forgot that he changed something before making sure it was working.

>>58559730
>thermal glue
Elmer's brand?

>>58559730

it was at this point that I realized we were getting trolled

>>58559730
You're not fooling me jizzing on your gpu does not qualify as thermal paste/glue

>>58558721
Is your CPU power plugged in. That was my rookie mistake when building my first PC.

Gee, that might short out the shit. Clean the jizz off your GPU and try again, tard..

Jeez. Allright. So its too much and the Titan thermal paste contains enough metal to create a short? Ok. Is the coolermaster thermal paste that came with the hyper 212 better if i use less of it?


PS:

Jeezzz

OP, post a picture of your setup so you can get some actual help. This isn't tech support, but reading the replies in this thread is making my head hurt.

I built my first desktop computer and everything worked perfectly.
All I did was watch a linustechtips guide before I started and it was easy.
If you can't get the computer built properly you're a dumb retard.

>>58559976
He already said he's too much of a pussy to properly insert the mobo connector and doesn't seem to know that the cpu power connector exists.
No picture needed to see where it went wrong.

And you are a great master too, anon.


Update after cleaning the GPU core. Dont think i can clean much more. Is it out of the "i am gonna fuck everything up in flames" territory?

>>58560019
Guess it depends on how much of muh overclocks you are going to do on that sweet ass gpu there...

>>58560064
Focusing on CPU overclocking. And its just an old sapphire HD 6950. I was planning on checking up how high i can take it with the stock drivers without messing with the BIOS.

>>58560079
None of those will be your bottleneck if you overclock it you can keep turning it up all the way until the voltage is so high that it'll kill itself.

Your motherboard is grounded.

How bad/good does it looks like now? will it blow up?

>>58558721
Jay had this recently. He blew up his cpu. https://youtu.be/ys24AJh42xA

>>58560247
Saw that video. What happened was nothing to do with my case.

Update: Computer boots. Sends to BIOS splashscreen then restarts. At least it does something after almost a week of doing this entire shit.

>>58558898
>>>58558886
>couldnt you fucking just put it together like a normal person without trying to tinker around with it
/Thread
OP is an idiot and dismantling the GPU to fuck with it, even if it's replacing thermal paste, has no benefits.

>>58560460
Had to clean all the dust in it, anon.

>>58560532
You don't dismantle it for that. You take a can of air and spray along all the crevices and holes like a normal person.

>>58560561
its much more dust than that.

And on top of that i wasted all the canned air. Had to take a brush and remove every dust from every part of the GPU. Since i had thermal paste anyways i used the opportunity and used it.

Computer boots fine now. Gonna proceed to install win 7.

Thanks to everyone who helped and those that made me see my mistakes
